Edible Garden reports 2025 sustainability results via Walmart’s Project Gigaton

Edible Garden (EDBL) announced its 2025 sustainability results as part of Walmart’s (WMT) Project Gigaton. The Company’s continued participation reflects its commitment to reducing waste, conserving resources and improving environmental efficiency across its greenhouse operations and distribution network. Edible Garden’s 2025 performance demonstrates measurable progress in logistics optimization, water reuse, recycling initiatives and food waste reduction, aligned with both Walmart’s climate objectives and the Company’s Zero-Waste Inspired mission. Edible Garden’s 2025 Project Gigaton impact included: 412,537 conventional refrigerated truck miles avoided through co-loading and backhauling; 30,734 gallons reduction in diesel fuel demand; 694 barrels of crude oil conserved; 1,890,000 gallons of water recycled across both facilities, with 95% reuse in Grand Rapids and 75% reuse in Belvidere; 167 metric tons of food waste reduced through food bank donations and operational efficiencies; 70 metric tons of mixed recyclables recycled, including plastics, paper, corrugate, and glass. “At Edible Garden, sustainability is not a standalone initiative – it is a structural component of how we operate and grow,” said Jim Kras, CEn. “Over multiple years, we have methodically invested in transportation optimization, advanced water recirculation systems, waste stream reduction and recyclable inputs to create a more efficient and resilient supply chain. Our 2025 Project Gigaton results reflect the depth of that commitment, from meaningful reductions in fuel use and transportation miles to continued progress in water recapture, recycling and food waste diversion.”
