Giant Food shoppers in the D.C. metro area will soon have a fresh path to sustainability, as the grocery chain is circular reuse platform Loop’s newest retail partner.

Beginning this fall, customers in the D.C. metro area will be able to purchase a variety of products in durable, reusable containers found in Loop-branded displays in participating Giant stores, according to a Loop press release.

“Giant is committed to taking sustainable actions that reduce plastic waste from our landfills and improve our environment,” Diane Couchman, Giant Food Vice President Category Management, Non-Perishables, said in the release. “We are excited to partner with Loop, a global leader in eliminating waste, to offer our customers a program that allows them to shop their favorite products and help our environment.”
