Good For Your Store
and Our Planet

Bemis partnered with BASF to conduct an eco-efficiency study certified by the National Standards Foundation (NSF). The results show that Bemis' all-polymer shopping cart has significant sustainability advantages versus a metal or hybrid cart. Reducing the use of single-use plastic packaging and bags is a responsible initiative for grocery stores, and so is adopting a durable plastic shopping cart that will far outlast a metal cart.

The Bemis all-polymer cart:

• Uses 30% less energy and 30% fewer resources over its full life cycle than metal carts.
• Lowers greenhouse gas emissions by nearly 40%, water usage by over 50% and solid waste generation by 50%.
• Is manufactured using processes with less land use, lower toxicity potential, and fewer occupational risks.

Modular Cart Design

Bemis carts' modular design both lowers maintenance costs and improves sustainability. Being able to replace and recycle individual components allows a store to keep our carts in the fleet longer, and means entire carts don't have to be scrapped or landfilled like metal carts.
