See below story of our work with Jungle Jim's and Center for EcoTechnology. Thanks to Phill Adams for his vision for wasted food solutions in Butler County!
A full-service grocery store operating two storefronts, Jungle Jim's International Market Fairfield has maintained a Reduced Deals section for over 35 years. This section features ripe, day-old, or imperfect produce, deli, and bakery items marked down from their original prices. These reduced deals attract bargain-seekers and chefs alike, while preventing wasted food and lost revenue.
To help Jungle Jim’s further their sustainability efforts, we worked with the market to repurpose their hard-to-recycle pickle bucket containers. Empty pickle buckets from the store are now being repurposed by Earth Peak Organics, which will reuse them with a household food scraps recycling program. Jungle Jim’s lies within the Butler County Recycling and Solid Waste District, which offers waste reduction and recycling resources to businesses. Read the full story here: https://bit.ly/3w38Lyj
