Turning Sustainability into B2B Profit
For B2B outer trade distributors, sustainability isn’t just compliance—it’s a revenue driver. BrewRight Cafés faced $10k monthly fines in 2024 for plastic straw violations. Switching to sugerør af sukkerrør from bulk suppliers eliminated penalties and boosted corporate contracts by 37% within 9 months (2025 Green Procurement Survey). With 78% of procurement managers prioritizing eco-suppliers, this pivot turned a cost into a competitive edge.
“Eco-straws became our top marketing asset,” says BrewRight’s Sarah Chen. This guide explores how bulk sugarcane suppliers fuel B2B success.
