Great to be a part of the #MMovement #zerowaste
At Mercato Metropolitano, food is the catalyst for building a better future for people and the planet. The health of our planet and society are intrinsically connected, so we’re on a mission to create a sustainable ecosystem that nurtures both. Alongside our food and nutrition initiatives, we’re committed to reducing our carbon footprint in everything we do through teaming up with various partners. Here’s a glimpse into some of the steps we’re taking: ⚡ We work with GridDuck to implement an innovative tool to reduce our carbon emissions and our energy consumption across all our markets, driving both sustainability and cost savings. Since the start of the project, we’ve reduced our energy consumption at Mercato Mayfair and MMy Wood Wharf by 50%. This means we’re able to better support our traders by ensuring optimal levels of energy consumption. ♻️ Our collaboration with Zero Waste Technologies is focused on reducing waste across our locations. This ongoing initiative aims to achieve zero waste through improved recycling, waste separation and staff training. In 2024, Zero Waste Technology leveraged our onsite waste streams by repurposing glass and coffee grounds into new sustainable materials through training workshops. 💦 Our collaboration with Delphis Eco, our partner in creating the cleaning products we use across all our MM markets, helps us reduce carbon emissions. Delphis opts for 100% recyclable plastic bottles, preventing 7.26 tonnes of CO2 from entering the atmosphere. As we strive towards net zero, the importance of collaboration has never been more crucial - we’re all in this together.
