Helping the Environment.
Towards becoming a carbon neutral business.
Whilst we do have some product options that are provided in cardboard boxes, over 90% of our deliveries are made using re-usable tubs.
You’ll find that just about every other supplier will bring cardboard boxes – week after week after week and the environmental implications of this are enormous. Every cardboard box manufactured and recycled produces approximately 10.5kg of CO2 and workplace fruit suppliers who provide just cardboard boxes are generating thousands of tonnes of carbon emissions every year on their packaging alone.
Global warming is already having a huge impact on the Australian produce industry. Being critically reliant on this industry, we are passionate about doing something positive in this area.
Fruit at Work is committed to becoming a carbon neutral business and is currently examining every part of its business to minimise damage to the environment.
