Sustainability in Micro Markets: How 2025 is Going Green

As sustainability becomes more important than ever, we’re proud to take meaningful steps to reduce our environmental impact, especially through our micro market services. In 2025, we’re continuing to evolve our offerings to be more eco-friendly, supporting both a healthier planet and a more mindful workplace culture.

A major focus of our sustainability efforts is reducing packaging waste. We’re choosing products with recyclable, compostable, or minimal packaging to help limit landfill contributions. By offering these eco-conscious options, we’re making it easier for our clients to reduce plastic waste while encouraging employees to make more environmentally aware choices during their break times.

As part of our commitment to sustainable practices, we now offer eco-friendly cups and sleeves to our coffee service and pantry clients—a simple yet effective way to cut down on single-use materials. Additionally, we’re making the switch to Inline Plastics, a tamper-proof packaging solution that uses Advanced Recycling technology to create rDPET (recycled Direct to Sheet PET). All of our PET products are now made with 10% post-consumer recycled PET, and we proudly partner with SCS Global Services to independently verify our recycled content claims. Transparency and integrity are at the core of everything we do.

We’re also bringing more locally sourced and organic products into our micro markets. Sourcing from nearby vendors not only supports regional businesses, it also reduces the emissions tied to transportation. These options allow us to promote a healthier environment while aligning with the values of employees who want to snack more responsibly.

Energy efficiency is another key part of our approach. We utilize energy-efficient micro market equipment that reduces overall power usage while delivering the same great experience to our clients. These machines support both sustainability and long-term cost savings, benefiting businesses and the environment alike.

Looking ahead, we’re excited to expand our green initiatives even further. By prioritizing sustainable packaging, energy savings, and thoughtful product sourcing, we’re doing more than just stocking shelves—we’re helping our clients build a more sustainable workplace. These efforts not only support environmental goals but also contribute to a breakroom culture that’s positive, forward-thinking, and in tune with the needs of today’s workforce.
