Milk Specialities Global joins Vanguard Renewables’ Farm Powered Strategic Alliance

Milk Specialties Global, a nutrition ingredients manufacturer, is the most recent food and beverage manufacturer to join Vanguard Renewables'® Farm Powered Strategic Alliance (FPSA).
The FPSA was launched in 2020 with founding members Unilever, Starbucks, Dairy Farmers of America and Vanguard Renewables and has since grown to more than 20 national and regional food and beverage companies.
"Milk Specialties is the latest sustainably minded food and beverage manufacturer to join the Farm Powered Strategic Alliance," stated Neil H. Smith, CEO at Vanguard Renewables.
"We are thrilled to add them to our cohort of first movers in the food and beverage industry focused on sustainability, decarbonisation of supply chains, and moving towards a more circular economy."
The FPSA, a collaborative initiative focused on driving systemic change, is dedicated to promoting sustainable organic waste reduction and regenerative agriculture solutions. With the addition of Milk Specialties Global, the Alliance gains a valuable partner with extensive experience in sustainable manufacturing and is dedicated to supporting America’s farmers.
"Recognising our responsibility towards customers, suppliers, employees and competitors, we are committed to fostering collaboration and being a responsible corporate citizen," stated David Lenzmeier, CEO at Milk Specialties Global.
"Our company's DNA is rooted in the ethos of doing more with less, constantly striving to minimise our environmental impact while maximising production efficiency, and joining the Farm Powered Strategic Alliance is part of our focus on collaboration across all business verticals."
Vanguard Renewables partners with food and beverage manufacturers to recycle their inedible food waste via Farm Powered anaerobic digestion, which converts organic waste into renewable natural gas (RNG).
This RNG is then used to generate electricity, heat, and transportation fuel, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and mitigating greenhouse gas emissions.
