Our sustainability story

Here at PrepWorld, working with natures products, we are convinced that sustainability is a natural part of being a successful business and we continually strive to act in an ethical, transparent and responsible way.

We work with our growers worldwide to provide great tasting fruit whilst minimising our impact on the environment. Our fruit is produced to independently audited standards and we have numerous sustainability accreditations and partnerships across the globe.

We strive to educate everyone across the supply chain to lower their environmental impact; from scientific breeding processes, to recycled material in our plant pots, to reusable, returnable packing trays and kerbside-recyclable punnets.

Setting our sights on a world of good by reducing environmental impact through improved growing techniques, tailored packaging innovations, supply optimisation, monitoring trends, empowering our people and ensuring proper working conditions to secure the future sustainability of the industry.

Seeking viable sustainable solutions

Conscious of our impact, we actively seek sustainable solutions in all areas of our prepared fruit business. We want to lead by example, more than mere sustainability preachers, or even teachers, but sustainability doers. Across our prepared fruit world we have already demonstrated examples of this approach:

♻️ Inbound cardboard packaging is taken to a local paper mill and is recycled back into paper pulp.

♻️ Inbound plastic packaging is grouped, then taken to a plastic extruder where it is cleaned and granulated. This is then used to produce more plastic material.

♻️ Fruit waste is condensed then transformed into a mix of cattle feed for local farms and also processed by anaerobic digestion.

👨‍👧 Avoiding food waste by donating surplus fruit through our partnership with FareShare.

🖊️ A sponsor of Stronger Together, a multi-stakeholder business-led initiative aiming to reduce modern slavery.

🌱 A member of LEAF, the leading organisation delivering more sustainable food and farming.

Collaborating for a world of good

We understand the importance of collaboration and recognise that working together is essential to achieving our goals. In order to maximize our impact, we actively engage with a diverse range of key partners and member groups. By fostering strong relationships and open lines of communication, we are able to effectively share our sustainability knowledge and expertise, while also combining our collective efforts. This collaborative approach allows us to leverage the strengths and resources of each individual entity involved, ultimately driving greater success and positive change.
