We’re very aware of the need to avoid single-use plastic wherever we can, but packing a mixed box with vegetables and dry goods requires that some things get water-proof wrapping, and at the moment, that often means plastic – although we are using some HOME COMPOSTABLE bags where we can find ones that actually can be home composted – and we’ll share our stock with producers where that’s possible.
We re-use as much as possible. That means you need to return boxes, cold bags and cold blocks to us – we use second hand plastic bottles to make cold blocks, and second-hand plastic bags to separate (say) meat & dairy in your cold bag. Some of our egg producers can re-use egg boxes.
