All of our business processes are designed to be as sustainable as possible, including manufacturing, packaging, energy, emissions, waste and recycling. We have invested significantly in our technology, resulting in higher productions speeds with less noise and wastage, and therefore considerably less energy consumption.
Sustainability
ENSO
We have also recently embarked on our new sustainability journey with ENSO to make our business even more sustainable, and to help make our planet and community a better place. ENSO is a global sustainability platform for purpose-driven businesses that want to address their sustainability and implement initiatives that will benefit their business, the environment and the community.

Packaging
All of our online packaging is fully recyclable. Our delivery boxes, ice packs and insulated liners are all fully recyclable to enable our customers to easily dispose of them. Gel packs can be reused, are safe and non-toxic, and may be stored either frozen or at room temperature.
