cardboard, 1 million total pounds of shrink wrap, 509,000 pounds of stretch film, and 543,000 pounds of mixed film. SpartanNash partners with <strong>Trex<\/strong>, a manufacturer of wood-alternative decking, to recycle 100% of the stretch film from our stores and DCs in Michigan and Nebraska. This stretch film is recycled into post-consumer products, such as composite decking used for porches and decks.<\/p><p>Our waste generated has steadily declined as we have improved tracking for about-to-be-aged and aged inventory and taken actions to prevent food from becoming waste. This has led to an overall solid waste reduction of 5.6% since 2021 and 22% since 2020.<\/p><h2>Food Waste Operations<\/h2><h3>Distribution Centers<\/h3><p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-42916\" src=\"https:\/\/www.spartannash.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/2022-Food-Waste-Eliminated-01.svg\" alt=\"2022 Food Waste Eliminated\" width=\"150\" \/>Efforts to prevent food waste in our DCs begin with preventing aged inventory. We have increased our use and standardization of processes for promotions at retail and reclaim\/salvage actions at distribution centers. This helps sell the product at a discounted rate rather than sending it to a landfill. Donating to our community partners is prioritized as a next step to keep all consumable food out of our landfills. Lastly, we partner with waste vendors to direct more items to recycling or incineration for energy recovery. By diverting waste materials to an anaerobic digestion facility, the by-product is able to be used for both energy recovery and agricultural use.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n                <\/div><div class=\"eael-accordion-list\">\n                <div id=\"packaging\" class=\"elementor-tab-title eael-accordion-header\" tabindex=\"0\" data-tab=\"2\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-2142\"><span class=\"eael-advanced-accordion-icon-closed\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fa-accordion-icon e-font-icon-svg e-fas-plus-circle\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M256 8C119 8 8 119 8 256s111 248 248 248 248-111 248-248S393 8 256 8zm144 276c0 6.6-5.4 12-12 12h-92v92c0 6.6-5.4 12-12 12h-56c-6.6 0-12-5.4-12-12v-92h-92c-6.6 0-12-5.4-12-12v-56c0-6.6 5.4-12 12-12h92v-92c0-6.6 5.4-12 12-12h56c6.6 0 12 5.4 12 12v92h92c6.6 0 12 5.4 12 12v56z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"eael-advanced-accordion-icon-opened\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fa-accordion-icon e-font-icon-svg e-fas-minus-circle\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M256 8C119 8 8 119 8 256s111 248 248 248 248-111 248-248S393 8 256 8zM124 296c-6.6 0-12-5.4-12-12v-56c0-6.6 5.4-12 12-12h264c6.6 0 12 5.4 12 12v56c0 6.6-5.4 12-12 12H124z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><h4 class=\"eael-accordion-tab-title\">Responsible and Sustainable Packaging<\/h4><\/div><div id=\"elementor-tab-content-2142\" class=\"eael-accordion-content clearfix\" data-tab=\"2\" aria-labelledby=\"packaging\"><p>We strive to source products responsibly and sustainably, which involves partnering with suppliers who uphold our high standards and sourcing products as locally as possible wherever practical.
