Sustainable vending London: The Jar's journey to becoming carbon neutral

Sustainability has always been a core value of how The Jar Healthy Vending operated. As a small, independent vending supplier, we’re extremely proud to play a meaningful role in contributing to a greener London. That’s why our recent acknowledgement as Carbon Neutral has been so significant for us.

More and more workplaces and venues are looking for sustainable vending London solutions and we want to lead the way to show them that vending can be convenient, healthy and environmentally friendly.

Why sustainable vending matters in London

London is a fast-paced, busy and high-consumption environment. There are thousands of workplaces, universities, gyms and public spaces that rely on vending for convenience. And as the vending industry grows, it's environmental impact cannot be ignored.

With energy usage, refrigeration, travel, logistics, waste and packaging all contributing to a vending supplier's carbon footprint, it takes careful rethinking of every part of the process to truly become 'sustainable'.

At The Jar Healthy Vending, we have always been committed to considering every part of our business to bring sustainable vending London.

What does it mean to be carbon neutral?

Becoming Carbon Neutral means more than just holding a badge or certificate. It’s about our commitment to operating responsibly and reducing emissions.

We have achieved Carbon Neutral status from Carbon Neutral Britain which means that we have:

• Measured our total carbon output across operations

• Reduced emissions where possible through energy-efficient machines and smarter logistics

• Offset any remaining emissions through accredited carbon offset projects

• Reviewed suppliers, products and routes to ensure sustainability at every stage

  
  

It’s a continuous journey, but one that we’re committed to moving forward with purpose. Read our previous blog on our Carbon Neutral certification here.
