Environmental Policy

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.
