New packaging policies - improving our eco credentials!

Our new year's resolution this year is to replace as much of our plastic packaging as possible with eco-friendly alternatives. The first batch have arrived, new clear bags for fabric packs - they look like plastic but are made from potato/corn starch so are fully biodegradable and compostable!

As the year goes on we will be using up all our current supplies, every time something runs out we will be replacing with recyclable and biodegradable products, hoping to be plastic free by this time next year!
