Did you know that today marks #EarthDay ? Sustainability, environmental responsibility and innovation are inherent in the Borough Market’s core values

Our aim is to put every leftover piece of food or packaging to the best possible use – nothing goes to landfill. All cardboard, paper, plastic, glass or wood is recycled

Our partnership with the amazing charity  @planzheroes means that surplus produce from our traders can be distributed to local charities, rather than being thrown in the bin.

Single-use plastic bottles are no longer sold anywhere within the Market, instead we installed multiple water fountains in 2017 that are now being used by visitors to supply a volume of water equivalent to 1,750 standard bottles per day.

In 2019, Borough became the first food market in the UK to replace plastic carrier bags with a fully biodegradable alternative, made from GM-free cornstarch Earth Day is everyday . #earthday2020
