Bulk Food Facts

Organic bulk foods on average costs 89% less than their packaged counterparts. Bulk foods also prevent a significant amount of packaging from entering landfills.

On Board With Bulk

You can make a big difference in your family’s food budget, and the impact you have on the environment, by simply buying bulk foods whenever possible. In addition to reducing packaging, bulk foods also help control food waste since you are able to purchase only the amount needed.

Retailers

Packaged food goods require significantly more transportation to bring to shelf. The manufacture of packages pulls trees from our forests, dumps contaminated water into our streams, uses enormous amounts of energy and shoots tons of CO2 into our atmosphere. Plus, packaging is a burden on our landfills. With bulk foods, you’ll be a better environmental citizen!
