Packaging & Sustainability

Is your packaging environmentally friendly?

Yes, we’re always working to use packaging that’s as environmentally friendly as possible, while still protecting your bakes during delivery.

Our packaging is made from a mix of recyclable, biodegradable and compostable materials, chosen to balance sustainability with safe postal delivery.

Which parts of the packaging can I recycle?

Most of our packaging is fully recyclable, including:

– Cardboard treat box
– Salmon tissue paper
– Mailing bag

These can be recycled through standard household recycling.

Is your bubble wrap eco-friendly?

Yes, we use green biodegradable bubble wrap, which is both eco-friendly and 100% recyclable.

It provides essential protection for your treats in transit while being kinder to the environment than traditional plastic bubble wrap.

The bubble wrap is made from materials that can break down naturally in the environment, reducing its impact on ecosystems.

Are the cookie bags compostable?

Why do you still use protective packaging at all?

We aim to reduce environmental impact wherever possible, but we also need to ensure your bakes arrive safely and in perfect condition.

We carefully choose protective materials that are more sustainable alternatives, so your treats are well protected without unnecessary waste.
