Foodstuff Store Launches Innovative Recycling Program to Promote Sustainability

Food tech company Foodstuff Store has announced the launch of its innovative recycling program, expanding its corporate mission to include waste management and recycling solutions. This initiative underscores the company’s commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility.

The new program offers customers a convenient way to dispose of their plastic waste when purchasing fresh food products directly from farmers. For each waste item delivered for recycling, customers will receive a credit that can be used for future purchases at the Foodstuff Store. This incentive aims to encourage eco-conscious behavior among customers while reducing their ecological footprint.

“We are thrilled to offer our customers a convenient way to recycle and contribute to a cleaner Nigeria and a cleaner planet,” said Diana Tenabe, Chief Operating Officer at Foodstuff Store. “By offering rewards for recycling, we hope to incentivize eco-conscious behavior within our communities in Nigeria.”

Nigeria faces a significant challenge with plastic pollution, exacerbated by the widespread use of single-use plastics like sachet water pouches, plastic shopping bags, and take-away containers. The country’s recycling capacity is limited, resulting in only a small percentage of plastic waste being recycled. Indiscriminate disposal of plastics leads to overflowing landfills, clogged drainages, flooding, and harm to marine life.

Foodstuff Store aims to address these issues by encouraging customers to participate in its recycling program. By integrating waste management into their business model, they hope to create a positive environmental impact and promote a more sustainable future.

This program allows customers to continue enjoying the quality products and services they expect from Foodstuff Store while actively contributing to environmental sustainability.
