Why are you selling plastic/PET lids?

90% of our products are made from compostable, rapidly renewable plant-based materials. Unfortunately for some applications/products, there is not a suitable bio-based option – in these cases, we select materials such as PET that are widely accepted for recycling.

We take care to not intentionally mislead consumers or misrepresent our products. All non-bio-based plastic items are clearly marked with the relevant plastic recycling codes on the product and marketing collateral. Bioplastics are relatively new to the market, and there is significant innovation in this space. We are always seeking out and testing new, more sustainable, functional, and cost-effective materials, and as soon as a suitable replacement is found for any of our non-bio-based materials, we will not hesitate to make the change.

Our philosophy is to not let the perfect be the enemy of good. Through ongoing incremental changes and constant improvement, we remain committed to transitioning an industry away from the current linear model towards a circular economy.

We are working on a heat-safe PLA bioplastic alternative to replace all clear plastic PET lids.
