Sustainability
I AM NUT OK is committed to producing 100% plant based products, meaning they contain no animals and no animal by products - a leading cause of climate change and damage to the environment.
Packaging
We aim to use the most environmentally friendly packaging for our products and for our shipping. This is why all our spreads are housed in recyclable glass jars, our cheeses are wrapped in a compostable film, and our products are shipped without the use of styrofoam. They are kept cool with fully recyclable packaging using paper insulation or bubble wrap repurposed from deliveries we receive. Whilst this might be more of a cost to us, it is much less costly to the environment!
REuse, reduce, recycle
REPURPOSE PACKAGING: We encourage our customers to repurpose the jars as spice containers, candle holders, or whatever you fancy! The ice packs can be refrozen and insulation reused.
DISPOSAL OF SHIPPING PACKAGING: The ice packs can be recycled - simply cut the corner of the pack and dispose of the contents through the normal domestic waste system. The contents are non-toxic and not at all harmful to the environment. The outer film is recyclable as LDPE 4. You'll need to check with your local council whether or not they'll accept it in household recycling, otherwise, they can be recycled anywhere that accepts plastic bags. The outer cardboard box and paper liners can be recycled through regular recycling. The wood wool goes in the rubbish and is bio-degradable.

Future Goals
We hope to grow our business without compromising our values, and are working to reduce our footprint while making a positive impact. This ongoing effort is also made possible with our supportive and environmentally conscious customers. If you have any input as to how we can improve, we are always open to suggestions.
