What's in our packaging and how sustainable is ELEAT?Updated 13 days ago
Our pouches are designed to keep your breakfast fresh and protect the product — and we're working on making them better, year on year.
The honest truth: high-protein, low-sugar food has strict packaging needs (oxygen and moisture barriers) which makes 100% recyclable pouches a real challenge. We've made progress, and we'll keep going.
Where we are today:
- Pouches are widely recyclable through soft plastic recycling points (most UK supermarkets accept these)
- Outer cardboard shipping boxes are 100% recyclable kerbside
- No unnecessary plastic — we don't use bubble wrap, plastic packing peanuts, or extra wrappers
- Subscription orders mean fewer parcels, fewer shipping runs, and less packaging overall
What's next:
- We're testing fully home-compostable pouch materials
- We track our shipping emissions and offset where we can
- Bigger pouches = less packaging per gram of product
