The Prevented Ocean Plastic logo can be seen in Whole Foods.
Everyone can think a little more about the packaging they use. But as a shopper it’s easier to choose products packaged in Prevented Ocean Plastic™ if you know exactly where to look. For the latest in a series pointing people to the right places to make better plastic choices, it’s exciting to share that sushi connoisseurs can find our logo embossed on Genji Sushi packs in Whole Foods.
If you’ve picked up any sushi from the shelves of Whole Foods Market in the UK, there’s a good chance it came from Genji. Genji, part of the Hana Group, produce restaurant-quality, responsibly sourced sushi.
Genji also have dedicated counters at flagship locations across London and even opened a full-service concept restaurant, Sushi & Robata by Genji, inside the Kensington branch of Whole Foods in 2016.
What makes Genji stand out isn’t just the quality of its food- it’s the packaging too.
We’re proud to say that Genji uses packaging made with Prevented Ocean Plastic™, helping stop plastic pollution before it reaches the ocean. Every tray is part of a bigger solution: supporting coastal collection efforts, providing stable jobs in developing communities, and closing the loop with traceable, recycled plastic.
Prevented Ocean Plastic are so proud to partner with Hana Group and support their Mai and Genji brands.
Hana embrace better choices throughout their supply chain – from fresh ingredients to final packaging.
“At Hana, sustainability isn’t just a policy, it’s our core belief in nurturing and restoring our planet”, said Hana Group Ecommerce Manager, Courtney Mager,
“Working with Prevented Ocean Plastic means actively contributing to the protection and restoration of our oceans. It signifies our commitment to reducing plastic waste and promoting sustainability by supporting a circular economy.”
Look for Genji in Whole Foods, and look for the Prevented Ocean Plastic mark on the packaging.
