ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION
PACKAGING
Our boxes may not be as glossy as they used to be but we believe as we have always believed, it is what’s inside that counts. It is always our intention wherever possible to minimise the use of non-recyclable materials in the manufacture of our products and to reduce the packaging as much as possible. These changes are happening all the time as we continue to evaluate our methods, cut down on waste and recycle and upcycle where we can.
If a Bionutri product contains either probiotics or sensitive plant oils, they often come blister packed to ensure quality and stability from the first to the last capsule or tablet. Like this, the blister will always come packed in a printed box.
We’ve recently updated these boxes to an uncoated board, which is fully biodegradable. Also, the inks we use to print on the board are water soluble and can be added to either your weekly recycling or your compost.
Of course the major environmental impact in our packaging is in the triple film blisters we use to guarantee quality. We are always looking for the best option as far as sustainability is concerned but we are simply not willing to compromise on quality, especially when working with such sensitive ingredients. However, the blisters we use are recyclable. Superdrug offer a blister recycling service throughout the UK and you can take your used Blister packs down to your local chemist for them to be recycled.

IMPACT
The ethos of the company even extends to our logistics, as Edward Joy transports our printed cartons to the packaging depot by electric bike. In the scheme of things this may seem small but if we imagine a world where all small local deliveries where done in this way it would cut carbon emissions down quite considerably.
As with the rest of the business we always appreciate feedback, so please do not hesitate to email us with your questions, thoughts and suggestions.
We look forward to hearing from you.
