Piggly Wiggly: Committed to Sustainability in the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands
Our Commitment to the Environment
At Piggly Wiggly, located in the heart of the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands, we are dedicated to minimizing our environmental footprint and actively participating in efforts to combat the climate crisis. Our mission is to create a sustainable and eco-friendly environment for our customers while supporting the local community.
Eco-Friendly Practices
Biodegradable Takeaway Containers
We understand the impact of single-use plastics on the environment. To address this, we have adopted biodegradable takeaway containers. These containers decompose naturally, reducing the amount of waste that ends up in landfills and oceans. Our customers can enjoy their meals knowing that they are not contributing to plastic pollution.
Paper Straws
In line with our commitment to reducing plastic waste, we use paper straws instead of plastic ones. Paper straws are a sustainable alternative that breaks down more easily in the environment. This small change helps us reduce our plastic footprint and protect marine life.
Recycling Efforts
Recycling is a key component of our sustainability strategy. We fervently recycle as many materials as possible, including paper, glass, and plastic. Our recycling program ensures that these materials are processed and reused, minimizing waste and conserving natural resources.
Supporting Local Farms and Artisans
Free-Range Barn Eggs
Our free-range barn eggs are sourced from a local family farm, where hens are raised in a humane and natural environment. These happy hens produce high-quality eggs, which are not only healthier but also more ethically produced. By choosing local suppliers, we support sustainable farming practices and reduce our carbon footprint.
Locally Sourced Cheeses
We take pride in sourcing all of our cheeses locally. By partnering with local farmers and artisans, we ensure that our cheeses are fresh and of the highest quality. This also allows us to support the local economy and promote sustainable agriculture.
Community Engagement
Supporting Farmers and Artisans
At Piggly Wiggly, we believe in the power of community. We actively support local farmers and artisans by showcasing their products in our store. This not only provides our customers with unique and high-quality items but also helps sustain the livelihoods of local producers.
Educational Initiatives
We are committed to educating our customers about the importance of sustainability. Through various initiatives and workshops, we aim to raise awareness about environmental issues and promote eco-friendly practices. By empowering our community with knowledge, we hope to inspire positive change.
The Benefits of Our Sustainable Practices
Environmental Impact
Our eco-friendly practices significantly reduce our environmental impact. By using biodegradable containers and paper straws, we decrease plastic waste. Our recycling efforts ensure that valuable materials are repurposed, reducing the strain on natural resources. Sourcing products locally minimizes transportation emissions, further lowering our carbon footprint.
Economic Benefits
Supporting local farmers and artisans has economic benefits for the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands. By purchasing locally, we contribute to the growth and sustainability of the local economy. This creates jobs and fosters a sense of community, making the region more resilient and prosperous.

Our commitment to sourcing free-range eggs and local cheeses ensures that our customers receive healthier and more ethically produced food options. Free-range eggs are richer in nutrients, and locally sourced cheeses are free from unnecessary additives and preservatives.
