Sustainability + Carbon Offsetting


Sustainable Packaging 

Sustainability is important to us so we're committing to eco-friendly packaging by joining the Noissue Eco-Alliance program

What it means
Compostable packaging is typically made from a number of renewable plant-based materials and/or bio-polymers. To be certified home compostable, a product must break down in home compost within 180 days and 90 days in commercial composting conditions.

Why it's awesome
Cardboard and paper products are a great addition to the backyard compost as it helps with the carbon-nitrogen ratio. Easily broken down in a compost, these products also tend to have chemical compounds removed from the product.

How does this affect YOUR order?
Once your online order is completed, we will ship your products in only 100% compostable mailer bags. Our partnership with Noissue also allows us to contribute by planting trees in British Columbia, Canada.

What's NEXT?
Currently our cookie mix pouches are in reusable packaging offering recycling options but as we grow we will look to explore compostable packaging as a next step towards a more sustainable future.

 

Carbon Offsetting

We've chosen Shopify and Shop Pay as a partner to participate in their Carbon Offsetting program.

What it means

Choosing Shop Pay means you reduce the environmental impact of shopping online. No matter how far your delivery travels or how many purchases you make, you can reduce the environmental impact of your deliveries for free.

Every Shop Pay purchase helps their community plant trees at no extra cost. As their trees grow, they'll remove enough CO₂ to offset Shop Pay deliveries.

More info on Shopify's Carbon Offsetting program here.
