ecoBiz Partner Biography
ALDI representative accepting their ecoBiz Partner certificate from former Minister McNamara
ALDI is a German based retail chain with 56 stores throughout Queensland. ALDI began using a unique moveable bulkhead system which allows a single truck to deliver frozen goods, fresh foods and non-perishables in the one load, thereby eliminating 400 journeys each year. Also, by making 60% of journeys during off peak times they maintain fuel consumption of 47 litres per 100 kms of diesel fuel. Eco-efficiency features standard across ALDI stores include air lock air-conditioning, smart lighting, cross ventilation and natural air flow. ALDI stores also utilise reusable pallets, recycle all wrapping plastics and use rainwater tanks to irrigate landscaped areas.
