NEW YORK, Jan. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — KIND Snacks Founder Daniel Lubetzky has invested in Quevos, a brand of fun and flavorful snacks whose first ingredient is egg whites. As announced on ABC’s Shark Tank, Lubetzky will partner with budding entrepreneurs, Quevos Founders Nick Hamburger and Zack Schreier, to help more people discover their introductory line of high protein, high fiber, low carb snacks in bold flavors including Honey Mustard, Cheddar, Sour Cream & Onion, Sweet Barbecue, Quevos Rancheros, Dill Pickle, and Mesquite BBQ.

Lubetzky’s investment is a vote of confidence for both Quevos’ snacks and co-founders Hamburger and Schreier, who impressed Lubetzky with their entrepreneurial spirit and life-long friendship turned partnership. Leveraging his experience growing KIND from a small startup into a multi-billion-dollar global health and wellness brand, Lubetzky will help Hamburger and Schreier pursue their shared vision to bring the nutritional value of egg whites to new forms of satisfying snacks.

Says KIND Snacks Founder Daniel Lubetzky, «I am excited to help Nick and Zack fulfill Quevos’ potential. They have created a very cool and differentiated product with huge mainstream appeal. And I love that they’ve been best friends and partner entrepreneurs since childhood.»

A Type 1 diabetic, Schreier conceived of the idea for Quevos after tasting the crispy leftovers of an egg white omelet and discovering they could crunch just like the chips he was unable to enjoy. Together, Hamburger and Schreier experimented for two years before arriving at the product of their dreams. Now the pair looks forward to partnering with Lubetzky to introduce Quevos to more people seeking healthful snacking options that satisfy both their cravings and nutritional needs.

Say Nick and Zack, «Daniel is a partner and mentor who has been in our shoes building a health and wellness brand from the ground up through every stage of growth. We went into the Tank dreaming of making a deal with him, and can’t believe we did! We’re so excited to learn from him and to collaborate on helping more people enjoy Quevos!»

Quevos can be found online at Quevos.com and Amazon.com and in store at Wegmans, Vitamin Shoppe, Whole Foods Illinois stores, and other retail locations across the country. Shoppers can choose from both Keto-friendly and classic flavors sold at $14.99 USD for a pack of five bags. Classic Quevos flavors provide 5 grams of protein and 5 grams of fiber and Keto flavors deliver 8 grams of protein, 4 grams of fiber, and only 4 grams of net carbs.

About Quevos

Childhood friends Nick Hamburger and Zack Schreier came up with the idea for Quevos after Zack, a Type 1 diabetic, discovered the fun of snacking on the crispy pieces of an omelet left over on the pan. Now, the pair are bringing the nutritional power of egg whites to snacks featuring bold flavors that make healthy snacking satisfying. With their introductory line high protein, high fiber, and low carb, as well as gluten and grain free chips in six bold flavors, Quevos has created the world’s first-ever chips made from egg whites. Quevos come in four Keto Flavors which have only a few net carbs, and two Classic Flavors. Learn more at www.Quevos.com.

OAKLAND, Calif., Jan. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The Clorox Company (NYSE:CLX) announced today that it has achieved its goal of 100% renewable electricity for its U.S. and Canadian operations four years earlier than originally planned. One of Clorox’s ESG (environmental, social and governance) goals, achieving 100% renewable electricity for U.S. and Canada reflects the company’s long-time commitment to climate stewardship.

«At Clorox, we feel a sense of urgency to address climate change given current warming trends resulting in significant impacts on our planet and global communities,» said Ed Huber, Clorox’s Chief Sustainability Officer. «As a society, we’re at a pivotal point, with the health and well-being of future generations at stake. We recognize businesses play an important role in driving needed progress, and Clorox is committed to doing our part.»

Moving forward, Clorox will maintain its renewable electricity goal through a virtual power purchase agreement (VPPA) and other market purchases of renewable energy credits (RECs). The VPPA is a 12-year commitment to purchase 70 MW of renewable energy annually from Enel Green Power’s Roadrunner solar project in Texas. The Roadrunner solar plant began operating in 2020 as the largest solar plant in Texas.

Based on Clorox’s historical electricity consumption, these renewable energy purchases are estimated to avoid approximately 180,000 metric tons of CO2 emissions each year. This is equivalent to the annual impact that 235,000 acres of U.S. forest can have in removing CO2 from the atmosphere, or the carbon impact of the electricity needed to power 30,000 U.S. homes annually.¹

Clorox was advised by Schneider Electric Energy & Sustainability Services on the VPPA and additional REC purchases.

Clorox’s renewable electricity goal is one of the ESG commitments made as part of its corporate strategy called IGNITE. More information about Clorox’s IGNITE ESG goals, including a commitment to setting and achieving science-based targets for greenhouse gas emissions for operations and supply chain, can be found here.
