Mars Snackfood project environmentally friendly
Mars Snackfood this morning is announcing its latest “going green” effort — completion of a project that delivers methane gas from the city of Waco landfill to power the plant’s boilers.
According to a news release in advance of the ceremony, the decadelong public-private partnership project will bring significant environmental benefits. Available quantities of methane will cover approximately 60 percent of the Waco plant’s total boiler fuel requirements for the next 25 years, the release said.
Mars Snackfood U.S. President Todd Lachman is scheduled to be there along with local, state and federal government officials and the Waco business community. The Mars Snackfood plant in Waco manufactures Snickers, Starburst and Skittles.

Is this a possible alternative for our plant as well. Who has more landfills and hence methane gas than New Jersey!
Thanks,
Jeff
