Sustainability

We don't claim "sustainable". We claim "getting there, transparently". Here is exactly where we are.

Sachet film: mono-PP from the first run

The sachet film on our first production run is a mono-PP film (polypropylene, recycle class 5). Mono-material PP can be recycled in standard plastic-recycling streams where collection infrastructure exists, and each sachet carries the recycle class 5 PP mark.

This was a real engineering change, not a marketing one. Mono-PP behaves differently on a stick-pack sealer than the multilayer composites most sachets use, so it took re-tuning and validation runs with our film supplier and co-packing facility before we committed the first batch to it.

Why now

The EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (Article 6) sets recyclability requirements that come into effect on 12 August 2026. We chose to move ahead of that deadline rather than wait for it.

Outer carton

The 150-sachet retail box is paperboard, printed outside and inside. Paperboard is curbside recyclable across the EU.

Long-term

We are researching a glass jar option for customers who want to switch away from plastic entirely. No timeline yet; we will publish here when we have one.

What we won't do

We won't put a green leaf on the box and call ourselves a sustainable brand. We won't quote an LCA we haven't actually run. We won't claim "carbon neutral" by buying offsets. When we have credible data, we will publish the numbers and the methodology behind them. Until then, this page is what we have.
