The Rochester, N.Y.-based grocer, which has been on a journey to reduce plastic packaging since 2019, shares its process for selecting sustainable options in the prepared foods department.
The omnichannel grocer is the only company in the U.S. to receive the Energy Star Partner of the Year award for 23 consecutive years.
Not only are product requirements and sustainability factoring into flexible packaging decisions, but potential regulations could play a significant role in the future, says guest columnist Aaron Fox of Fox Packaging.
The Save Mart Cos. has become the first California grocer to partner with Flashfood, an app that connects shoppers with fresh produce and other groceries at up to 50% off.
In spotlighting strides in sustainability efforts, the grocer reported progress in waste diversion and recycling various materials and food, while also making donations to support food-insecure communities.
