Industry Spotlight: Shopping Basket
For stores that want to make a difference, there is a lot to do. Why not start with the shopping basket?
Shopping baskets that are more than environmentally friendly
Eduardo says that Shopping Basket has started a collaboration with a company that supplies environmentally certified recycled polypropylene (PP). The raw material consists of Spanish households' collected plastic waste. "Our new series of eco-baskets are made from 95 percent recycled plastic! We are proud of this initiative, which is aimed at conscious stores in all segments. The investment is a natural part of our mission to offer the best shopping experience, with a product based on the highest quality, the latest technology and a sustainable production process."
Eduardo gives examples of the benefits of the new series of shopping baskets. "By choosing a shopping basket made of recycled plastic, you are making an active environmental choice. We don't really want to talk about environmentally friendly products, but rather focus on the planet we live on, so we usually talk about "Earth-friendly. For the same reason, all our products are BPA-free."
Consumers are becoming increasingly environmentally conscious
"These baskets are certainly a little more expensive than our other basket range, but the benefits are all the more. When you choose to invest in this type of basket, you choose to invest in the environment, which is appreciated by more and more consumers. We offer a whole range of shopping baskets made of environmentally certified recycled plastic.
The baskets are available from 12 liters up to 91 and are aimed at the conscious shop owner. We also have a range of black baskets where 75 percent of the plastic is recycled from industrial waste but also from surplus material from our own production, so this series is also a good choice for our planet."
Whichever basket you choose, you contribute to a reduced climate footprint. For SB Shopping Basket, it is a step in the right direction because they, like many other producers, want to contribute to a more sustainable world.
