SUSTAINABILITY
WE AIM FOR SUSTAINABILITY AT ALL STEPS
As a company selling packaged goods, we recognize there are challenges in operating sustainably. From our mushrooms to our recycled packaging and paper mailers, we strive to reduce our impact as much as possible.
The majority of our supplier’s organic mushrooms are grown on sawdust that is a byproduct of the Chinese lumber industry. The leftover wood materials from the forestry industry would likely otherwise go to waste, but by making it into sawdust for mushroom growing they not only produce a valuable food crop but also help reduce waste.
MUSHROOM CULTIVATION
GROWN ON WOOD SUBSTRATE
Our mushrooms are grown on wood, not grains.
UPCYCLED MATERIALS
Our mushrooms grow on upcycled forestry products.
SUSTAINABLE FORESTS
Wood substrate is cultivated from managed forests.
WASTE AS FERTILIZER
Unused substrate can be used as fertilizer.
PACKAGING
Let’s be frank here: We’d rather not package our gummies in anything plastic. While we wait for the packaging industry to develop food-safe, fully biodegradable packaging, we're doing our best to reduce our impact.
Our packaging is sustainably manufactured, with a number of benefits over traditional plastic pouches and jars.
REDUCED MATERIALS
LESS ENERGY & EMISSIONS
RECYCLED MATERIALS
ECO-FRIENDLY INKS
Despite containing 50% post consumer recycled plastic, our pouches aren't perfect. Our future plan is to move to 100% recyclable tins, but we'll be doing what we can until then.
