Green Initiatives
A core objective of Delta Fresh is to promote environmentally friendly practices in the food industry.
The local context of Delta Fresh will provide net associated reduction in carbon footprint through distribution and trucking
A focus on local capacity in the processing and distribution will help reduce reliance on international production and overseas sourcing of produce.
Key environmental initiatives include:
The parking lot will be fitted with several electric-vehicle charging stations, with the capacity to install more if desired in the future.
The facility is designed with a white envelope membrane serving to help cool the facility. The structure will be built with lightweight, low carbon material.
The roof of the facility will include a planned extensive array of solar panels, which are expected to significantly offset energy and electricity requirements.
