Our Eco-Commitment

At Megafood, our commitment to sustaining and healing the Earth is as important to us as our commitment to providing the best whole food nutrition to you. This is reflected in everything we do, from the manufacturing process to placement on the shelf.

We try in all aspects of our business to recognize the impact we are having on nature, and do all we can to ensure we are not abusing or over-using valuable resources. Instead, we strive to give back to the planet and community part of what we have taken out.

Some of our efforts include:

Reduce

  • Commitment to Green Power: 100% of our Sales and Marketing Office’s monthly energy use is provided by Renewable Energy Resources
  • A Fuel Efficient Care Incentive Program for our Outside Sales Representatives.
  • Commitment to never using the additional resources required for individual product packaging (no box!).
  • Using local, organic produce which lessens the CO2 emissions caused by cross-country travel.
  • By testing all of our raw ingredients and finished products to be Free of pesticides and herbicides, we are going BEYOND the industry's current organic standards and regulations.
  • Paperless Rep Campaign – An initiative whereby our outside sales reps will limit or elliminate the use of paper as a tool for their daily activities.
  • Received awards from the New Hampshire Utilities Company (PSNH) for the significant reduction in energy consumption and improvements in efficiency at our state of the art manufacturing facility.

Reuse

  • Sourced plastic bubble wrap used to protect our bottles from our warehouse to the stores made from 100% recycled materials.
  • Our cardboard shipping boxes are post-consumer recycled materials and are also recycled after use.
  • Our products use a plant cellulose tablet sealant, which is a by-product of the lumber industry, therefore recycling valuable materials that would otherwise go to waste.

Recycle

  • Recognizing the importance of using glass bottles for packaging. This enables us to give you the added guarantee of retained freshness, as well as ease of recycling.
  • We maintain existing machinery for tableting our formulas which was established in the 1950's to maintain the intregrity of our ingredients and the quality and purity of our products.
  • Commitment to paper recycling.
