We’ve been shortlisted for our Sustainable Values
We’ve been shortlisted in this year’s Wales Food and Drink Awards for a Sustainable Values Award.
The annual awards celebrate the best food and drink businesses in Wales and we’re proud to be one of six companies shortlisted for the Sustainable Values Award.
We’re looking forward to May 9th when the winner will be announced at a ceremony at Brangwyn Hall, Swansea.
Sustainability is a bedrock of our company and we’re continuously working hard to become more sustainable, to recycle everything we can and to protect the local environment. Our work includes:
Ensuring all of our products are fully recyclable: our plastic bottles and shrink wraps are 100% recyclable and are also made up of 30% recycled materials, and our cartons are straw free.
Our aluminium cans have the highest recycling rate of them all. Each can is infinitely recyclable and sourced only 65 miles from our farm in the heart of the Welsh countryside.
We have planted more than 14,000 trees, symbolising our dedication to a greener future.
Any waste we can’t recycle is put into a compactor and sent for RDF (Refused Derived Fuel).
Our company management system is certified to ISO 14001 standard, showing our customers and our suppliers that we take our impact on the environment seriously and that we’re committed to keeping it at the forefront of our business.
We’re proud to have sent zero waste to landfill since 2018, have an on-site state-of-the-art recycling facility and an expert in-house team to facilitate this. Operating as zero to landfill also means we support a circular economy, sending any waste back to the source to be reused and recycled.
At the end of 2023, we added to our existing rooftop panels, and opened a brand new £1.8 million solar farm, which produces 2,000 kWh of power a year. It means 21% of our factory is now powered by the sun.
We’re also the only production site in Europe with lines managing glass, PET, cans and Tetra Pak. This multi-format facility means we can significantly reduce onward transport costs and energy use, offering a true basket of products for our wholesalers and retailers, all from one collection point – our zero to landfill site in Powys.
