How We Do Plastic-Free Packaging

Order Placement:

Customers begin their plastic-free journey with us by placing orders online. Our user-friendly website allows customers to specify the exact quantity of each item they need, minimizing waste and ensuring they get just what they want. Whether you’re restocking pantry staples or trying out new products, our system makes it easy to order exactly what you need without excess.

Order Preparation:

Once we receive your order, our dedicated team springs into action. Each item is carefully weighed out to match your specifications. We pride ourselves on precision and attention to detail, ensuring you receive the right amount of each product. By doing this, we help you avoid unnecessary waste and promote mindful consumption.

Eco-Friendly Packaging:

At the heart of our commitment to sustainability is our use of eco-friendly packaging. We pack all items in sturdy, recyclable paper bags. These bags are not only environmentally friendly but also provide adequate protection for your products during transit. Unlike plastic, which can take hundreds of years to decompose and often ends up polluting our oceans and harming wildlife, our paper bags decompose naturally, leaving a minimal environmental footprint.

Delivery/Pick-Up Options:

To make our plastic-free packaging even more convenient, we offer flexible delivery and pick-up options:

1. Delivery: Our reliable courier service ensures that your order is delivered straight to your doorstep. We understand the importance of timely delivery, especially when it comes to perishable goods, so we work with trusted partners to ensure your products arrive fresh and on time. Our couriers are trained to handle packages with care, ensuring that your eco-friendly paper bags arrive in perfect condition.
2. Pick-Up: For those who prefer a more hands-on approach or want to reduce their carbon footprint further, we offer a pick-up option. You can collect your order from our shop located in Noordhoek. This option not only saves on delivery emissions but also allows you to explore our shop and see our full range of products in person. Our friendly staff are always on hand to assist and offer advice.
3. Vegan Goods Market: We will be at the Vegan Goods market at The Range in Constantia. You can pick up your order at the market. It is also a collection point for your empty glass jars. We buy our glass jars back from you and reuse them.

Ensuring Freshness:

Maintaining the freshness of your products is a top priority for us. While our eco-friendly paper bags are perfect for transportation, we recommend transferring your products into airtight containers once you get them home. This simple step ensures that your items stay fresh for as long as possible. Airtight containers protect against moisture, pests, and air, which can all affect the quality and longevity of food items. By doing this, you not only extend the shelf life of your products but also reduce food waste.

Our Commitment to Sustainability:

Our plastic-free approach, where possible, is part of a broader commitment to sustainability. We believe that every small step counts when it comes to protecting our planet. By choosing plastic-free packaging, we reduce our reliance on harmful plastics and encourage more sustainable habits. Our paper bags are sourced from responsibly managed forests, ensuring that we contribute to the conservation of natural resources.

Furthermore, we continually seek ways to improve and innovate our packaging solutions. We stay informed about the latest developments in sustainable materials and packaging techniques, ensuring that our practices evolve with the industry’s best standards. Our goal is to lead by example, showing that it’s possible to provide high-quality products without compromising the environment.

Customer Empowerment:

We believe in empowering our customers to make sustainable choices. By opting for our plastic-free packaging, you are taking a stand against plastic pollution and supporting a more sustainable future. We provide information and tips on our website and social media platforms to help you make the most of our products and packaging. From storage tips to upcycling ideas, we aim to inspire and educate our community on the benefits of going plastic-free.

Our plastic-free packaging process is designed with the environment and our customers in mind. From the moment you place your order to the final step of transferring your products into airtight containers, we strive to make every aspect of our service as sustainable and convenient as possible. By choosing us, you’re not just buying products; you’re joining a movement towards a more sustainable and plastic-free future. Together, we can make a difference, one order at a time.
