8 – What environmental impact do Mirabel lettuce production and consumption have?
The purchase and consumption of Mirabel lettuce have minimal impact on the environment:
- The water used for hydroponic growing is reused and recycled.
- Because of our enclosed growing conditions, no fertilizers are released into the environment.
- All packaging is recyclable and some materials are made with recycled matter.
- The delivery zone is fairly limited, reducing greenhouse gas emissions caused by shipping lettuce from the production site and to the sales market.
- Mirabel lettuce is produced 12 months a year. This enables local supply year round thus reducing off-season imports of foreign products, encouraging consumption of local products and further reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
