RESPONSIBLE MANUFACTURING
Cortizone-10® products are made and packaged at our Chattanooga, TN site. This site is a ZERO LANDFILL facility, recycling 96% of its waste and converting the remaining 4% into energy through incineration. In line with our commitment to a greener future, we use 100% renewable energy for electricity, reflected by our purchase of Renewable Energy Credits.
