Marble Distilling Co. — headquartered in Carbondale and with a tasting room in Aspen — was doing its part to combat climate change before it was cool.
For one thing, the first-of-its-kind Water Energy Thermal System, with the distillery invested in creating from its outset to capture and reuse the water and heat generated during the distilling process, is widely acknowledged as a landmark pillar of the business model that helps Marble put its money where its mouth is on sustainability — but the system is anything but proprietary. Far from it, Marble proprietors Connie Baker and Carey Shanks hope to see the model replicated and scaled up as need be.
