Home About Distribution Our Products Ingredients Current Page: Sustainability Contact Us Sustainability Natural Choice Distribution believes in taking care of our planet and each other. Our holistic commitment to healthy living, environmental conservation, and social justice is vertically integrated into our entire operation, so you can be confident that every purchase of our products will support these values. The packaging of our products is as minimal as possible. Sandwiches are shrink-wrapped – with minimal solid waste per package. Salads are packaged in Number 1 recyclable plastic containers, and salad components are presented in small plant resin containers that are compostable. Burritos have a natural non-bleached paper wrapping that can be directly microwaved in the wrap packaging – a safe food-handling practice with the bonus of being environmentally friendly. From preparation and packaging of our products, to the final delivery, our holistic approach to production and distribution logistics is what enables us to provide environmentally sustainable and convenient food that is appetizing and pleasing to the body, as well as to the social and environmental conscience of our customers. Natural Choice Distribution is a Green Certified Business. Our business practices incorporate a full gamut of sustainability and green activities. We actively compost all of our organic waste and annually divert over 8 tons of cardboard as well as 50 cubic yards of plastics (consisting of used pallet wrap, bread wrappers, food containers, etc.). Our modern production and distribution facility features all of the latest energy- and water-saving equipment. We strongly encourage all of our employees to use alternative transit methods (bike, bus, BART, etc.) to reduce car emissions and fuel expenses, as well as promote clean air and exercise. Employment Practices Natural Choice Distribution is located in a California State Enterprise Zone and a Federal Historically Underutilized Business Zone (HUBzone, HUD Qualified Census track), an area where employment opportunities are critically important to the local community. We are committed to providing high-quality, well-paying jobs to our dedicated employees, and our central location just blocks from the West Oakland BART station allows for an array of public transit options. We strongly encourage all of our employees to use alternative transit methods (bike, bus, BART, etc.) to reduce car emissions and fuel expenses, as well as promote clean air and exercise. Supporting our Local Community Natural Choice Distribution is proud to support the efforts of Food Not Bombs to provide quality, free vegan and vegetarian meals for the hungry. On an almost daily basis, volunteers come to our warehouse to collect excess inventory of products - that we would otherwise be required to discard - to be donated to local people in need. This program allows us to meaningfully give back to our community while reducing unnecessary food waste. We also donate any food scraps that don’t go into compost to a local farmer as feed. When possible, we donate our healthy food to various hospitals and community organizations, including weekly donations currently ongoing to provide support to patients and families in need due to the COVID-19 crisis. We love our Bay Area community and we’re here to do our part.
