An honest progress report on moving the last of our plastic to plant-based.
Where we are
Most of our range is already compostable and plastic-free. But we're honest that a few formats still use recyclable PP, PET or PS — because affordable compostable versions don't yet match the performance, and many customers won't pay a premium. We're closing that gap.
What's changing next
Our roadmap is continuous; each cycle moves more SKUs to plant-based:
Cutlery: shifting PS toward birchwood and CPLA.
Cold cups: expanding PLA and aqueous-lined paper to replace PET where it performs.
Containers: developing fibre and PLA to match PP's strength and clarity.
Packaging: moving our shrink film from PE to compostable film (2025–2026).
Pricing: scaling volume to reach plant-based price parity.
Why we say it out loud
Transparency is the opposite of greenwashing. Telling you exactly what's left and what's next keeps us accountable — and lets you watch the progress, product by product.
Key takeaways
Most of the range is already plastic-free.
A clear roadmap moves the rest to plant-based.
