FreshDirect

On the brink of its fifth birthday, FreshDirect, a grocery delivery company serving the NYC area, has committed itself to the environment and sustainability. FreshDirect is not only a standout in that they have pioneered home delivery of groceries, but also made a name for themselves as a pioneer in the green movement. Whether your feeding a family or your looking for a heat and eat meal, FreshDirect has what you need.

They offer all the irresistibly fresh food you could want and popular grocery brands for up to 25% less than supermarket prices, then bring it all right to your door. In addition to being convenient, Fresh Direct recently revealed a 5-pronged plan to become a more sustainable company. Here is what they are proposing to do:

  1. Reduce delivery truck emissions by partnering with local biodiesel alternatives.
  2. Reduce waste by using 100% recycled fiber content for boxes and alternate storage methods.
  3. Efficient use of excess by supporting City Harvest and other programs to feed the local hungry.
  4. Support local producers.
  5. Educate and inform clientele of ways they can make a difference.
