Sustainability

let's work together to be greener

Our Commitment to You

Our vision of a sustainable future means we will take steps to reduce, reuse, and recycle our resources in order to protect our world for future generations. We are sensitive to environmental issues and we have made changes at our stores and offices as part of our long-term commitment to environmental responsibility and sustainability. For example, we saved 1.5 million kw-hours of electricity annually as a result of the lighting retrofits that we have done in-store.

What does this green lighting initiative represent?*

  • 1031 tons of CO2 reduced
  • 215 cars off the road
  • 115,576 gallons of gasoline saved
  • 26,434 tree seedlings grown for 10 years

*2013 Stats Taken from EPA Greenhouse Gas Equivalencies Calculator

Our Team

To become a more environmentally-friendly, “greener” company, we created a Recycling Committee in 2010 and have identified Recycling Champions for each of our store locations. The Champions are employee volunteers that are passionate about being good stewards of our planet. It is their responsibility to oversee and implement our recycling program at each location. This program has had an overwhelming success so far, and we’re excited to see it continue to grow!

new reusable bagIn Our Fresh Foods Stores and Office:

We offer a Pull-N-Pak® green bags in produce. These are eco-friendly and made up of 30% recyclable materials. Each bag is dispensed one at a time, reducing waste up to 20%.

In addition to bags, stretch wrap in our distribution centers from palettes is recycled through our grocery supplier. White copy paper and shredded paper at our office go through the Recycling Company.

Our stores are also able to recycle narrow neck plastics, aluminum and steel cans, newspapers, and paper containers and cartons. These are the “Big 4” that were most recently in the newspaper (2018).
Of note, the metal cans that are used in our prep areas are collected and recycled as well.

Stats

10.0 tons of Grocery T-sac bags were collected and recycled*

280.4 tons recycled through single-stream collection (this consists of office paper, newsprint, aluminum, metal cans and plastics)*

640 tons of cardboard were baled and recycled***

4,089 gallons of waste cooking oil is collected and reused as truck fuel*

We also offer a variety of eco-friendly household and cleaning products in our stores.*

Additional Environmental Initiatives

In produce we recently converted the majority of our Styrofoam packing to biodegradable trays.

For Under the Tent, we have switched from Styrofoam to Eco-friendly containers, napkins and paper straws.

During our recent lighting retrofits, we saved 1.5 million kw-hours of electricity annually.

  • It’s made with 30% recycleable materials
  • It’s made to carry a larger capacity so that less bags are used to pack your groceries

84.3 tons of cardboard*

10.6 tons of Horticultural plastics and shrink wrap were recycled (this consists of plastic pots and plant flats).*
