reducing plastic
From 2023, we have committed to eliminating plastic from our supply chain, which includes our products, packaging and storage rooms. We're committed to reducing plastic waste in three key ways: (1) opting for aluminum cans, (2) replacing plastic labels with paper ones, and (3) using cardboard packaging. Keep reading to see why we have chosen to use these materials to reduce our waste!
One way to reduce our waste is through our sustainable packaging of cans. As we strive for a more energy-efficient process, we have produced our cans from 99% recycled aluminum and 1% recycled copper.
By using recycled materials, we can reduce our gas emissions during production and conserve natural resources. With aluminum's durability and infinite recyclability, our cans can be continuously reused and repurposed, allowing us to close the loop and support a circular economy where waste is minimised and resources are kept in use for as long as possible.
We use paper label as an alterative to plastic as we believe it's better for the planet. While plastic labels can be cheaper and easier to produce, they come at a high environmental cost.
Plastic labels can be difficult to recycle, often contaminating recycling streams and contributing to the global plastic pollution crisis. In contrast, paper labels are made from renewable resources and are fully biodegradable, meaning they can be broken down by natural processes and don't leave behind harmful microplastics. In addition, paper labels can be recycled more easily than plastic labels, making them a better choice for reducing waste and conserving natural resources.
By choosing to package our products in cardboard, we're using an easy and environmentally efficient material to recycle, minimising waste and promoting a more sustainable future.
Transparency
We are committed to elevating our efforts in transparency with our customers, which involves regular updates on our environmental progress. We believe in full transparency because it will allow us to take accountability and create action plans to improve.
OUR FOCUS FOR 2023.
Driven by the urgency of many of our planet’s problems, we are committed to a long-term sustainability plan to become carbon positive/neutral.
We have communicated our goals internally amongst our team so that it becomes an ingrained element of our company culture. We have also communicated our commitment externally to our business partners to work together to achieve our goals.
To work towards our goal, we have publicly committed to two board initiatives: no new plastic and transparency.
