5 Food and Beverage Companies Taking Sustainability to the Next Level Right Now

One of the biggest trends we've been following at Foodboro is the food and beverage industry's increased embrace of environmental sustainability from makers of all sizes. As the planet heats up, brands are tackling their carbon footprints on all fronts: supply chains, packaging, and products.

Here are five companies who are taking going green to the next level right now.

PATHWATER: (@pathwater)

This San Francisco-based bottled water company is taking on single use plastics. Their H20 is sold in a bottle that is made from aluminum that is 100% recyclable, and is also 100% reusable. They also emphasize locally-sourcing their water to minimize the miles it travels.

Kroger & Infarm : (@infarm)

The grocery giant just entered a new partnership with German startup Infarm to grow fresh produce right in the store. Shoppers will be able to walk in and see their parsley or basil growing right in front of them. The upshot for the planet? Produce that travels fewer miles before purchase.

Maple Leaf Foods: (@mapleleaffoods)

This Canadian firm made waves last week when it announced it was the first major food producer to achieve carbon neutrality. That's no small feat for a brand with a product portfolio that is heavy on the meats.

Chobani: (@chobani)

In a big move, Chobani -- the empire built on dairy -- announced it's betting big on oat milk, a dairy alternative known to be gentler to the planet, with a whole new line of products. One big factor for that decision? Connecting with younger consumers who are conscious of their purchases' carbon footprints.

 

Air Co: (@aircompany)

What if happy hour could put both you and Mother Earth spirits? Based in New York City, Air Co has unveiled a vodka that is actually carbon negative. Their booze is made from captured CO2 instead of yeast. Instead of the typical 13 pounds of CO2 a bottle of vodka adds to the atmosphere, theirs removes one pound.

F&B company raising the bar on sustainability? Let us know about it!
