Top Green
Recycling, waste reduction and other environmentally responsible practices have been implemented for many years by Haggen, Inc., owner of 33 TOP Food & Drug and Haggen Food & Pharmacy stores in Washington and Oregon.
With headquarters in Bellingham, Wash., Haggen, Inc. is well aware of the importance of sustainability and conservation and how much those principles mean to our customers. We’ve listed below some of our initiatives and programs.
Recycling
TOP Food & Drug stores have recycled their cardboard waste for over 50 years, annually recycling over 6,000 tons that is converted into paper bags, essentially closing the loop and preserving resources. Click here to read more.
Sustainability
TOP Food & Drug stores have worked with our suppliers to reduce or redesign containers and packaging to reduce the size of packages and to use recycled content where possible. Click here to read more.
Conservation
For almost 30 years, TOP Food & Drug stores have used heat-reclaim systems to heat our stores. The heat generated by our refrigeration systems is captured and stored in the form of hot water. It then is recirculated through our HVAC systems as needed for heating, dramatically reducing the consumption of natural gas and electricity. Click here to read more.
