Embracing Earth Day
The United Family has continuously recognized the value of action over words. Rather than celebrating one day out of the year, we focus on making every day an opportunity to conserve, educate, and empower guests. We have made great strides to not only deter plastic waste and the food waste that comes through our stores. The United Family also works each day to make their business more sustainable. In the last three years, the company has recycled over 3 million pounds of plastic, more than 54 thousand tons of cardboard, and reused more than 850 thousand wooden pallets. The United Family also uses 100 percent LED lighting at its distribution center and in dozens of its stores – to convert more stores in the future.
How you can make a difference!
Reusable bags serve more than just a symbol for recycling. They have evolved into a shopping essential every experienced guest carries with them. Due to their size and material, they also provide quicker loading and unloading from the cart to the pantry. Next time you enter one of our stores, view our new collection of reusable bags and effortlessly contribute to a greener lifestyle and a healthier planet.
