Sustainability at Special Ingredients Europe
At Special Ingredients Europe, we believe it is important to keep our impact on the environment as small as possible.
That is why we work with partners who take sustainability seriously. Both our production facilities at Special Ingredients Ltd. (BRC Certified) in the United Kingdom and our fulfilment centers from our partner Monta in Europe have set up their processes with an eye for people and the environment.
Production facilities
We produce according to a fixed sustainability policy:
- All product packaging is fully recyclable
- We only use 100% biodegradable material to fill boxes
- Where possible, materials are reused and waste is kept to a minimum
- The consumption of energy, water and other raw materials is actively reduced
- Employees are actively involved in improving environmental performance
- We continuously test against the applicable environmental legislation and regulations
Fulfilment
Our fulfilment partner Monta has integrated sustainability into all steps of the logistics process:
- Shipping takes place in FSC-certified shipping boxes
- To protect products, Monta uses filling material based on corn starch, which is 100% soluble in water and can be disposed of with organic waste
- Packaging is organised as efficiently as possible to save material and space
- Warehouses are energy-efficiently designed, including LED lighting and solar panels
- Electric vehicles are used for internal transport
- Waste is collected separately and reuse is encouraged
