GBPreserves_recyclelogo_logo orange transparent

Environmental sustainability is very important to us, as a company, we take the following steps to reduce our footprint, we are constantly monitoring this and if anybody has any suggestions or recommendations of further steps we can take we would be happy to hear it!

General

  • We supply small independent businesses not corporations, Amazon or supermarkets.
  • We reuse and recycle, lots!

Product Packaging

  • Our products and packaging are all 100% recyclable or biodegradable. Our tamper sleeves are made from 100% biodegradable plant material and our labels printed on 100% biodegradable paper.
  • We use cardboard and paper tape to package online and wholesale orders, no plastic.
  • We use paper and tote bags for customers at events.
  • Where possible empty containers from our ingredients are returned to our suppliers to be refilled.

Ingredients Sourcing

  • Where possible we source our ingredients from local British growers, and where it doesn’t grow in our climate we source them through local companies. We use reputable suppliers and hold all relevant documentation for them ensuring people and animals are treated well and paid correctly down the supply chain.
  • We have minimal food waste from production and anything we do have is recycled locally.

Energy

·        We are careful to plan our production to keep energy consumption down by producing multiple batches of the same product on the same day reducing the amount of time equipment is used. This in turn reduces water use as there is less cleaning time.

·        Our landlords supply and manage our energy but we are aware they are pushing for solar panels in the coming years when the roof of the building is replaced.

·        We have recently invested in a relatively new van, although it’s not electric as we need it for long distant events as well as local delivery, it is far more economical in regards to fuel consumption and has lower emissions helping air quality.

 

We pass on the above info to our customers at events and via our website. This is constantly under review and we strive to improve the environmental output of our business.
