As an online retailer who ships thousands of boxes and bags to you all over the world, we are aware that, just by running our business, we have an impact on the environment.
We're continually working to reduce this impact so we thought we'd create and update this page to keep you up to speed on our progress. Nobody is perfect and we are always looking for ways we can do better.
We are a 1% for the planet member which means: we donate 1% of our sales directly to environmental causes, no matter what, even if we don't make a profit. That means that for every order you make on our store, you are helping to make the world a better place. We’ve made a commitment to be at least 1% better. And by supporting us, you’re helping to amplify our impact and commit to something bigger than all of us.
We've always been focussed on developing and sharing innovative, conscious products wherever we can. Here are some of the stand-out products we sell and why we love them:
Silicone baking mats are the perfect way to reduce waste in the kitchen. Use them for rolling out doughs and pastries or as a baking sheet for your biscuits and breads in the oven. These mats can be reused over and over again. There are no excuses for throwing away baking paper any more!
Reusable cake and Varoma liners are the perfect fit for your cake tins and Varoma tray allowing you to easily bake and steam you favourite treats without worrying about waste. These liners are super non stick and highly durable, allowing you to wash them and reuse them hundreds of times.
Eco straws are the perfect way to enjoy smoothies and drinks without having to throw away plastic. They can be washed easily by hand or in the dishwasher, and reused over and over again. Our silicone straws are still in development but we are super excited for their impending release, they'll be here soon! Promise!
We are always looking for more environmentally conscious products to stock on our store. If you have any suggestions for us, please give us a shout at help@sophiaskitchen.blog!
Whilst our hunt for sustainable products never stops, we also look inwards and are making some exciting steps in a greener direction.
For example, we've recently been on a mission to eliminate plastic from our packaging and we've made some great swaps. Here's what we've done so far...
Although we've made some big improvements in the past year, we recognise that we still need to do more. And we are actively looking to do so! If you have any questions or suggestions about our environmental impact we would be more than happy to hear from you at help@sophiaskitchen.blog.
