Status for zero waste practices at two of our warehouses through true certification and we passed more than ��1,000, 000 of plastic recovered through our partnership with Repurpose Global. As we work to build the world's first climate positive grocery store, we're also progressing towards science aligned carbon reduction targets, investing in carbon removal solutions and working to reduce emissions across our supply chain. Just by shopping with Thrive Market, you've helped us to make an impact on our food systems and our planet. Last year we expanded our healthy and sustainable. Grocery Offering By adding 96 new brands and 1481 new products that all meet our quality standards and thanks to the orders you placed throughout the year, we were able to recover 656,585 lbs of plastic from nature and divert 11, 163,954 lbs of waste away from landfills to be recycled, composted or reused.
