What happens to the packaging ....

During the end of 2011, Arbonne contracted with the Carbon Neutral Company to conduct an as is carbon impact analysis. The analysis focused on Arbonne's current transportation network of finished goods sent from their warehouses. Results from the analysis will be used as a baseline metric moving forward to measure Arbonne's carbon impact and allow them to offset that impact and become a certified "Carbon Neutral" company.
How the programme works:

• Arbonne pays a fee per package to the Carbon Neutral Company for all packages shipped out of their warehouses to the Independent Consultants.
• The CarbonNeutral Company invests these funds in one of the four active carbon reducing projects throughout the world.
• In return, Arbonne is able to place the "Certified Carbon Neutral Shipment" on every outer corrugated shipper.

La Pradera Landfill Gas
This project enables efficient landfill gas (LFG) management at two landfill sites that service the metropolitan area of Medellin in Colombia. The first site is in Curva de Rodas in Colombia and was closed in 2003 after 19 years of operation in which approximately 8.5 million tons of municipal waste were received at the site. The second landfill site, La Pradera, became operational in 2003 and currently receives 2,100 tons of waste a day.
When organic material in landfill decomposes it releases substantial quantities of LFG, which contains methane — a greenhouse gas which is 21 times more potent than CO2. Before this project, the only active treatment of the LFG at these sites was a very basic collection system and irregular manual flaring. These were highly inefficient and, consequently, the majority of methane was released into the atmosphere. Through this project, a state o the art landfill gas recovery system and an enclosed flare combustion station have been installed at both sites, which will extract and destroy 99.99% of the LFG. When methane is combusted, it converts to CO2 and water, reducing the global warming potential of the LFG.
The La Pradera project was initiated by the University of Antioquia, also based in the city of Medellin. A portion of the project proceeds will be used to promote research and provide assistance to students from some of the lowest income groups at the university. Students will also benefit from using the project sites as training facilities as they provide examples of good solid waste management practices.
Further project proceeds will be allocated to Empresas Varias de Medellin (EEVVM) – the public utility company that owns and operates both landfill sites – which will be used to improve environmental management in Columbia. Both the university and EEVVM will provide funding for training opportunities in the communities affected by the landfill
