Plastic free
During this process we worked with A Plastic Planet, an environmentalist group, that has a single goal to reduce the use of indestructible plastic that is destroying our oceans, our soils, our air and the health of future generations. Plastic is usually made from crude oil, which is a fossil fuel and a non-renewable resource. While plastic has a long life and can be recycled, sadly, less than 10% of plastic is actually recycled in the UK, and of this over half of it is actually exported, often to developing countries who do not have the infrastructure to cope with it.
Clearly we had to avoid plastic so we are pleased to have a plastic-free solution made from renewable sources. We hope that our pouches, which are made from home compostable layers, end up back in the ground without leaving anything behind that’s bad for the environment, and we encourage customers to use a home or industrial composting option where available.
