Eco-Friendly Meal Prep: How Meal Prep Sunday is Environmentally Better

At Meal Prep Sunday, we do more than make healthy meals—we make sure the way we prepare and deliver those meals protects the health of our planet too. From how we source our ingredients to the containers we use, every part of our operation is designed to support sustainability. We believe eco-friendly meal prep should benefit your body and the environment. Here’s how we do it.

Local Ingredient Sourcing

We intentionally source our ingredients locally to reduce our carbon footprint. That means fewer trucks on the road, less refrigeration during long transit, and fresher produce on your plate. Instead of choosing cheaper ingredients shipped from overseas, we invest in quality, local ingredients. It’s not just about taste—it’s about doing right by our community and planet.

Supporting the Local Economy

Every time you order from us, you’re helping to support California farms, vendors, and small businesses. Our purchasing choices keep dollars circulating within our state and create jobs in our neighborhoods. From our chefs to our delivery drivers, we proudly employ local talent and partner with regional suppliers who share our values.

Smarter, Sustainable Delivery

Our delivery routes are carefully optimized to reduce fuel usage and travel time. We use the same trained delivery team every week to deliver directly from our kitchen to your doorstep—no warehouses or third-party distribution involved. Compared to driving to the grocery store and eating out multiple times a week, choosing Meal Prep Sunday significantly reduces environmental impact.

Reusable Bags & Ice Packs

Our signature insulated bags and ice packs are designed to be reused, reducing single-use plastic waste. You can return them to your driver each week, or repurpose them for everyday errands. Whether you’re heading to the park or packing a lunch, these bags are a durable, eco-friendly solution.

Recyclable, BPA-Free Containers

Conscious Marketing and Community Partnerships

We work with trusted local partners to avoid unnecessary outsourcing and maintain consistent freshness. Our marketing team focuses on community engagement, sharing helpful educational content, and promoting other local businesses who care about sustainability as much as we do.

When you order from Meal Prep Sunday, you’re not just making healthier choices—you’re joining a movement for a more sustainable food future. It’s never been easier to reduce waste, support local businesses, and enjoy high-quality meals that fuel your life and protect the planet.
