The dirty facts about grocery cart cleaning

FACT SHEET

It is estimated that 20 million grocery carts get touched a minimum of 200 times a day, on average, spreading disease from human- to-human while picking up food for consumption. Current sanitization efforts are costly and wasteful, but The Arch offers a safer, more effective solution.

Current Cart Sanitization Procedures are Costly and Wasteful

• The grocery industry alone is projected to spend $150 million in one-time-use grocery sanitizing wipes.
• Disposable wipes generate7.6 billion of pounds of garbage and account for 2 million tons of plastic waste per year, making it the third largest consumer item in landfills (source:http://www.designlife-cycle.com/disposable-wipes-lifecycle
• Grocery stores have had to bear the brunt of the cost to band-aid these issues. Hiring a “cart attendant” to wipe down one cart at a time ends up costing an estimated$171M in 2020 alone.
