Packaging
Our policy with private label providers is that all packaging be either recycled or
recyclable unless there is a food safety reason that prevents it. We also make every effort to reduce packaging whenever possible.
For example, by switching to a new vendor Publix found the opportunity to reduce the plastic resin in the bottles used for our private label bottled water.
Reducing this plastic by three grams per bottle has helped Publix save over 1,900,000 pounds of plastic per year and reduce the annual greenhouse gas emissions by over 410 tons.
