Cleveland's Garick, LLC distributes, processes and recycles natural resource products for the United States and Canada. The sustainability-focused company follows the triple-bottom line philosophy, which concentrates on the economic, environmental and social value it brings to the marketplace and the community.

Garick's Earth-friendly products include Nature's Helper(R) Soil Conditioner, the Paygro line of mulches and top soils, and Rooflite(R) material for "green roof" applications. Garick has four composting facilities around the country and produces composts and mulches that are 100 percent organic.

Sticking close to the triple-bottom line approach to sustainable business has allowed Garick to grow its company with the most efficient impact possible. Recently, Garick made two executive and three managerial hires. The company is currently looking to fill about 10 new positions, ranging from intern-level to managerial posts.

In September, Garick was acquired by Houston-based Waste Management. Gary Trinetti, CEO of Garick, views the agreement as a win-win situation that will allow Garick to expand its geographic footprint. The ability to leverage Waste Management's existing infrastructure, coupled with their commitment to redirecting organic waste streams to higher and better uses, will help close the loop for our mutual customers in accomplishing their recycling and sustainability goals," he says.
