Did you know that today marks #EarthDay https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">? Sustainability, environmental responsibility and innovation are inherent in the Borough Market’s core values https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🌱" title="Seedling" aria-label="Emoji: Seedling">

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 https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="♻️" title="Universal recycling symbol" aria-label="Emoji: Universal recycling symbol">

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 https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🌎" title="Earth globe americas" aria-label="Emoji: Earth globe americas"> Earth Day is everyday https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💚" title="Green heart" aria-label="Emoji: Green heart">. #earthday2020 https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">
