The first thing you can do is encourage your customers to reduce and reuse, consider offering incentives for eating or drinking in. Then when you need to have the option for a takeaway service, that’s where our sustainable packaging comes in. Talk to us to help you determine if Sustain™ or Revive™ is right for [...]
In our opinion, it’s the right thing to do and as an ethos-driven company, we do as much good as we can. By choosing Sustain™ or Revive™, you are adding your voice to the charge for better.

Overwhelmingly, the tide of consumer expectations is rising; today, it’s not just the impassioned fringe who are expecting their favourite shops and stores to make ethical and sustainable choices, it’s also everyday consumers – and the media. More likely than not, your customers will be expecting you to have a good answer to the million [...]
In general, we as a global nation need to conserve our planet’s resources and not be economically dependent on finite resources. Recycling in the UK is getting better. Government is backing sustainability. Soon enough we can bet there will be legal requirements stipulating some type of sustainable disposables for food and drink service businesses. Put [...]

The benefits of our products when thinking about the ocean, is that they all have sustainable means of disposal and can turn into precious resource (either compost or [...]
It is an alternative to a traditional linear economy (make, use, dispose) in which we keep resources in use for as long as possible, extract the maximum value from them whilst in use, then recover and regenerate products and materials at the end of each service life. Composting is also an excellent example of how a [...]
