The trees we have planted together
Since starting to plant our LayerTree forest, with your help we have captured 161 tonnes of carbon dioxide. To put this into perspective that is the emission of 1 person doing 161 return flights from Paris to New York. These trees really do make a difference!
Environmentally conscious brands
The coffee lover in this house is Myles and he has recently discovered Grind. They are a London based independent company who only make organic, compostable coffee capsules. They really do put sustainability at the heart of their business. We have yet to visit one of their coffee shops in London but excited for when the time comes!
Our Sustainable Packaging
We don't send you any plastic in our packaging.
Our boxes are made using recycled fibres and in themselves are 100% recyclable. Both the standard and 'fragile' packaging tape we use is recyclable so it can be left on the box to make recycling easier.
