Operations
At Islands West, our commitment to excellence extends beyond our products to the very operations that make it all possible
Our facility on Vancouver Island is designed with efficiency, sustainability, and innovation at its core.
We deliver the highest quality produce & spices while minimizing our environmental impact. From advanced processing technology to sustainable practices, we ensure that every aspect of our operations contributes to the success of our partners and the well-being of our community.
From slicing and dicing to peeling and coring, our 12 different machines, along with skilled hand-cutting, produce ready-to-eat and ready-to-cook ingredients that meet the highest standards of quality and safety. Each item is meticulously washed and processed, ensuring that our customers receive the freshest, most convenient produce available.
Packaging & Waste Reduction
Focusing on both quality and sustainability, we offer consumer packaging as well as bulk vacuum bags designed to reduce waste, ensuring that our produce stays fresh for longer while minimizing environmental impact.
Integrating
Sustainability
into every aspect of our business
Our facility features eco-friendly initiatives such as raingardens that filter stormwater before it reaches local waterways, a bright white roof to reduce the urban heat island effect, and energy-efficient systems like LED lighting and heat recovery technology to minimize energy consumption. We also prioritize water conservation through smart irrigation and drought-tolerant landscaping.
