Highland Laboratories is excited and delighted to announce our presence at COP15, the United Nations Climate Change Conference held in Copenhagen, Denmark, from Dec. 7-18, 2009.

Alpha Packaging®, our petroleum-free bottle manufacturer, has included our products in their product showcase as well as at their informational booth as one of the latest innovations in biomaterials (manufactured by NatureWorks®). Highland will be on display for the world to see as one of the pioneers of Earth-friendly, sustainable business solutions!

For more information on this or any other questions you may have, please contact us at 888-717-4917.

After much deliberation, formulating, testing, and reformulating, both of our Red, Red Wine Resveratrol products have been certified natural by the Natural Products Association (NPA, formerly NNFA). But really, what does "natural" mean? According to the NPA,

"...the Natural Products Association Standard for Personal Care Products states that all personal care products labeled or branded "natural" must be made with at least 95% all-natural ingredients and contain only synthetic ingredients specifically allowed under this standard that do not have suspected human health risks."

Highland Laboratories has strived to find eco-friendly means to conduct business since our inception over 34 years ago. Since switching to Petroleum-Free bottles in 2006, we've introduced a variety of energy-saving ideas:

To reduce our employees' emissions, we've offered optional 10-hour shifts, which result in 20% less driving. Highland has also created preferred Eco-Parking (45+ MPG only) and encourages car pooling for our out of town employees.

Internally, we have installed high-efficiency lighting and programmable thermostats to reduce the amount of energy our building consumes. Furthermore, we're early birds; starting our day earlier decreases the amount of time our machines (and plant in general) are operating during the hottest part of the day when energy use peaks.

We at Highland Laboratories are furthering our eco-friendly commitment by expanding our product line to include more petroleum-free bottles!

What does this mean for you? It means we are discontinuing amber bottles. Therefore, if you currently order amber bottles, you will soon be receiving white bottles (as our amber stock is depleted). If you have any questions, please feel free to contact your sales representative.

In September 2007, Highland was recognized by Food Front Cooperative Grocery in Portland, Oregon, for our use of petroleum-free bottles.

We would like to thank Food Front for their kind consideration, and especially Rachel for all of her efforts!
