SUSTAINABILITY EFFORTS
OUR TEAM
We grew from 2, to a spice team of 8- with our local social enterprise.
The moment we knew we had to scale our business, we wanted to do it in a way that built up our community as well. The stars aligned when we met with our local social enterprise, Summerstreet industries, who were interested in the world of co-packing. They have a mission to create opportunities for individuals with intellectual disabilities through programs, work placements and general support in Pictou County, Nova Scotia. We grew from one person to a spice team of 8 with our local social enterprise, bringing diversity and community under one “spicey” roof.
OUR Packaging
Our spice team toasts, grinds, and blends our authentic flavours into environmentally conscious packaging.
• Glass jars and #2 recyclable plastic pouches to bring these flavours into your kitchens in a way you can feel good about.
• Easy to reuse, or rinse and recycle, we are always on the hunt to create a more environmentally friendly product line.
Efforts: We initially used compostable pouches, but we found that most municipalities do not allow “compostable packaging” in their compost facility thus creating more waste in the landfills! We quickly pivoted to number 2 recyclable plastic which is easily recycled everywhere.
In this same effort, our house and business is powered by alternative energy from BullFrog Power, further reducing our environmental footprint.
