Our eco achievements to date
44 months of climate action 
140.68 tonnes of carbon reduction 
2,559 trees in your forest Saving over 10 tons of plastic a year
Late August 2023 we received some negative feedback on our delivery boxes.
Due to the size and weight of contents, some boxes were arriving slightly damaged, squashed and worse for wear.
In addition to this, the thermal liner that worked so effectively in our orders was becoming dated. A plastic-free, kerbside recycle alternative was needed.
After months of testing and research in 2024, we launched our fully recyclable board delivery boxes. No plastic, better thermal qualities, and the first to be developed in the UK.
Not only are we saving over 10 tons of plastic per year, but they’re strong enough to hold 150kg of weight ensuring products arrive perfectly and drastically reducing any food waste.
Fuel Efficient Cookstoves in Honduras This small-scale project, run locally in Honduras by Envirofit, involves the distribution of 300,000 fuel-efficient cookstoves in households across the country.
Because the new cookstoves improve heat transfer efficiency (reducing the amount of wood required to cook a meal), the project reduces the demand for biomass fuel, leading to a reduction in the rate of deforestation connected to wood consumption.
The corresponding reduction in use of the original, less efficient stoves yields a reduction in emissions from fuel combustion – improving air quality within the home and reducing emissions of the harmful gases that contribute to climate change.
Preserving Amazonian Rainforest in Brazil Tropical rainforests, such as those found in the Amazon basin, have long been referred to as “the lungs of the world”. Around a third of the world’s primary tropical rainforest (490 million hectares) is situated in Brazil, and around 80% of this tropical rainforest is situated in the Brazilian part of the Amazon basin. The Amazon rainforest is one of the most biodiverse habitats on the planet, and is home to 10% of all known terrestrial species. Additionally, on average, a new species is discovered in the Amazon every 3 days! 1 million indigenous people live in the Amazon rainforest too, so preserving it is vital to keep their communities intact.
However, sadly, 20% of the Brazilian Amazon rainforest was lost between 1975 and 2018, largely to clear land for agriculture, oil and gas production, mining, logging, and infrastructure. The rate of deforestation has increased over the past 3 years, with the rate towards the end of 2020 reaching its highest level since 2008. This is deeply concerning and shows how important projects that protect rainforest are right now.
