Feel great about where it comes from:
- Raw materials from Europe? No :-( - Brazil
- Organic? TBC
- Manufactured in Europe? Yes - Denmark
- What's it made from?
- Bioplastic (specifically Green PE) - an innovative, carbon-neutral material made from the leftovers after sugarcane is harvested. It's carbon-neutral because plants absorb carbon as they grow - whereas petroleum-based plastic has a carbon footprint of up to 6 times its own weight in CO2. Bioplastic is fully recyclable at end of life along with petro-plastics. Think of it as FairTrade coffee - looks the same, tastes the same, but has a very different impact on the world because of how it's produced;
- Fillers like Calcium Stearate (an edible salt);
- Colourants (these are petroleum-derived and 1.0-1.5% of the material).
- What's it packaged in? Cardboard only
- Shipping packaging from manufacturer to us: Cardboard only
