Sustainable Bakery Drive-Thrus

Greggs Eco Drive-Thru has been announced by the on-the-go bakery food brand as a new location that will help the retailer to reduce its environmental impact, curb waste and more. The new location is situated at Easton Lane, Winchester and is outfitted with sun tubes to redirect sunlight from the rook to reduce reliance on artificial light during the day and also boasts low-energy light fittings. The store is paired with solar panels that capture power for in-store digital signage, while a rainwater harvesting system will reduce water use by ~13%.

Property Director Tony Rowson spoke on the Greggs Eco Drive-Thru saying, "We’re so excited to have launched our first ever Eco Drive-Thru. As a leader in our sector, we take our responsibility to do right by the planet and communities we operate in seriously, and we do all that we can to make changes for the better. I’m proud of what we’ve achieved with our first Eco-Shop, ‘our shop of the future’, which means we can now test further materials and initiatives in this new unit, bringing us another step closer to reaching our Net Zero carbon objective.”
