Unfortunately waste labelling is a far more complex issue than we think!
It can feel like we need a degree in plastic production to get to the truth of the matter. There is so much greenwashing and misuse of labelling it can become very frustrating when all we want is to do is the right thing.
Packaging That’s Changing the Game!

Recycled Produce Box
While they may not be the most glamorous looking, reducing waste is far more important. The boxes we use were destined for land-fill WAY too early. They have plenty of life left in them! They are generally used 6-8 more times!! Recycling these boxes means avoiding unnecessary waste and reducing the production of unnecessary new boxes. New cardboard boxes would mean one use and a lot more cardboard production, which is water intensive, generates emissions and runs the risk of encouraging deforestation if not sourced sustainably.
Box Care > Avoid folding, keep out of the sun, fold down flat for pickup.

What We Use
Plastic Punnets > We always opt for buying bulk, then packaging produce in paper bags. When this isn’t an option you may receive produce in plastic punnets. You may recycle these.
Paper Bags > Home compostable.
HDPE liners > HDPE liners are the best solution currently in the market, once recycled HDPE finds uses in new containers, piping, and even outdoor furniture, contributing to a circular economy. We are always looking for best alternate options.
