World Environment Day: Our Sustainable Philosophy
With World Environment Day coming up on June 5th we thought we would shine a light on some of the ways we try to make a difference and how we respect our beautiful planet.
Our products would not be as delicious if it weren’t for Mother Nature and the amazing ingredients we have at our fingertips. Our team therefore always try our hardest to prioritise the environment in all aspects of our production and distribution.
With World Environment Day coming up on June 5th we thought we would shine a light on some of the ways we try to make a difference and how we respect our beautiful planet:
Re-using Cardboard
We have many fun machines in our production line, but our personal favourite is our cardboard shredder. We use this to convert the cardboard we receive everyday into material that is used to pack orders and keep your curious items safe during transit. Our version of bubble-wrap. We also re-use any bubble wrap or filling materials we receive from our suppliers, so any time you receive any plastic in your parcels - it's been re-used with love.
Fruit
The fruit strained from our Shrub Syrups is transformed into a range of products including preserves, jams, and our personal favourite ... our Mandarin Dust. As much as possible, the only food waste we put in the bin is the leaves and pips!
Packaging
Where possible we avoid single use packaging and prioritise reusable materials such as glass and aluminium.
About World Environment Day
The theme for World Environment Day this year is “ONLY ONE EARTH”. It is being hosted in Stockholm to celebrate 50 years since the establishment of the United Nations Environment Programme which was formed in 1972 at the UN Conference on the Human Environment in Stockholm.
