In our kitchen, we try to minimize food waste by using every part of every vegetable and animal that we cook with. Here’s how we implement that belief into the design of our packaging and delivery process.
First, we try to make every shipment as efficient as possible. Part of the reason we require an order minimum - it takes the same amount of fuel to deliver 1 soup as it does 6. We also use different box sizes based on order size, saving unnecessary space, weight, and materials.
We’re also using green materials where we can. Our cardboard shipping boxes are 100% curbside recyclable. The insulation we use, GreenCell Foam, is backyard compostable, water soluble, and even safe to burn cleanly. It’s made primarily from cornstarch, and is produced with 70% less energy and 80% less greenhouse gases than typical foams.
