Six things New World Natural Foods does for the planet
- Support organic farming
Our organic products are made using only organic ingredients grown by farmers that work to maintain soil nutrients using sustainable farming practices without the use of synthetic fertilizers. New World Natural Foods manufacturing facility is certified organic by QAI (Quality Assurance International).Our organic certification represents the acknowledgement that we have a custodial obligation to protect our environment and ensure a healthy and delicious food product.
- Produce and promote vegan and vegetarian foods
In promoting a healthy life style and due to the concerns for our planet, all New World products are vegetarian and a majority is Vegan. This means our food production processing facilities omit the use of all animal products, with the exception of honey.
This reduces the use of fossil fuels, green house gases, water, water pollution and deforestation.
- Find sustainable packaging alternatives
- Offer our products in bulk sizes.
At New World natural Foods we offer granola the breakfast cereal in economical 2lb size and the nut butters in 1 kg size. This makes our product to package ratio very high. The fact that it is made in Canada reduces transportation costs, use of fossil fuels and thus helps reduce the carbon foot print. It is transported in 100% recyclable card board cases. Buying larger sizes means fewer trips to the store and this simple choice can make a big difference to the amount of garbage ending in the landfills.
- Follow environmentally sustainable business practices
New World Natural Foods follows environmentally sustainable business practices such as recycling, less packaging, waste elimination, use of sky lights to reduce waste and increase energy efficiency.
- Support global charitable initiatives
New World Natural Foods supports local and global communities. In 2010 we donated 50 cents per bag of New World granola and muesli sold during January 15- February 28 2010 amounting to $3600.00 to Red Cross for the Haiti Earthquake relief
