Those are big promises but you can’t have one without the others, so here’s our thinking…
Like it or not, we are all intimately connected within our world. Choices we make affect us all, even the choice of paper we use in the kitchen. If you care about your choices, so do we. And when we care, we all benefit ..
Wax. We’ve chosen nature’s toughest, hardest wax from the Carnauba palm tree, harvesting palm fronds from a tree that lives up to 200 years. This versatile, tough tree grows in marginal soils in an extreme climate. The amazing wax protects the tree from these conditions. The long life of the tree and careful harvesting provides a sustainable resource and stable ecosystem for the people, plants, animals and insects that make the region their home.
Chlorine. We use unbleached, totally chlorine free (TCF) paper, eliminating the risk of chlorine residues in our paper or entering the water cycle where it can have harmful long-term ecosystem effects.
Paper. Illegal logging accounts for millions of acres of forest loss and untold damage to the wider environment and social cohesion. We use Forest Stewardship Council FSC) certified paper that promotes the most rigorous environmental and social standards of stewardship.
Lifecycle. Globally, millions of tons of valuable biobased materials go to landfill, where they remain useless and worse, produce greenhouse gasses that accelerate climate change.
Composting. Our waxed paper is compostable so it returns organic material to our ecosystem. Micro fauna get a good meal and produce soil-enriching, life-giving compost that locks up carbon, contributing to soil health, ready for the next generation of life. It all adds up to our circle of life moment. Lovely thought.
