06 Dec 2021 --- UK-based Parkside has equipped Bird & Blend with compostable packaging for its loose tea. The solution utilizes Futamura’s compostable bio-based paper and metalized NatureFlex cellulose films, manufactured from sustainably-sourced wood pulp. “As a business, we are acutely aware of the scrutiny our industry can sometimes face when it comes to [environmental] sustainability and ethical integrity,” notes Matt Hendon, operations director at Bird & Blend. “Our tea bags are already plastic-free, so the obvious next step was to boost the environmental credentials of our packaging.”
