SUSTAINABILITY
With the everyday pressures on the environment at present here are some of the things we are doing to help improve our sustainability footprint.
Valimex Sustainability
Food Waste – To help reduce the impact of our waste on landfill we have green bins solely for the food waste which then get collected for Anaerobic Digestion. Over the next 30 to 35 days this is broken down by bacteria to produce biogas which then gets fed into the National Grid.

The Felix Project
We also send our produce to The Felix Project in London where all our surplus food goes to local charities and schools, our donations so far has already resulted to 1.48 tonnes, equating to 3,530 meals (converted weight into meals by WRAP guidelines, a meal is considered 420g). This is why you will sometimes see a mixture of boxes. Again, this saves the waste cardboard going to landfill. All our brown cardboard boxes have a recycling minimum content of 84%.
