| As part of Berkshire's efforts to reduce the environmental impact of our products, Berkshire has developed several light weight, high performance wiper products that have been designed to meet the rigid requirements of the customer, reduce the costs associated with disposal and reduce the landfill waste pounds impact by approximately 10%. For a customer purchasing 1,000 cases of wipers per year, this approximates to 2,400 lbs less landfill waste per year compared to heavier, standard weight products. As part of this initiative, Berkshire also developed a waste pounds reduction model as tool to help our customer's determine the waste pounds impact when comparing alternative wiper products.
