ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY ON PACKAGING

We have made a conscious effort to reduce the amount of single use plastic that we use where there is a viable alternative available.

We have replaced our baking mix party bags with bags that are made from a biodegradable plastic and the pancake mix party bags are also in eco pouches which are biodegradable.  Our party bag boxes are also made from recycled board and obviously the glass Kilner jars that we use for our baking mix jars are reusable and are made from 100% recycled glass.

With regard to packing materials, we have changed our packing tape so that we now use paper packing tape, where possible we use recycled paper to pad out boxes and we have changed from using polystyrene chips to an alternative which is starch based and biodegradeable.  Sadly we still need to use bubble wrap for some of our products but we are constantly looking for a viable alternative and where we use air pillows, these are recycled.  Please don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions regarding the packaging of our products.
