SUSTAINABILITY

After several years in sustainability roles, we know that sustainability claims should be specific, not vague. Even with experience in the space, it can be difficult to separate meaningful claims from marketing language. We started GLORIFIED TEA to do things differently and more intentionally, and we aim to be open about what we are doing well and where we are still improving.


What we are doing well


   We use reusable and recyclable glass bottles and lids

   We take back bottles so they can be cleaned, sanitized and reused

   We compost citrus and loose leaf tea byproducts to keep landfill waste minimal

   We use reusable sample cups on market days

   We prioritize Canadian suppliers and local businesses to reduce fuel usage

   We keep label ink usage limited

   We host our website on Canadian data centres, powered by renewable energy

   We use ENERGYSTAR refrigeration

   We use up-cycled decor and live plants



Where we are still improving


   We are continuing to look for ways to reduce water usage

   We are working toward using an electric vehicle to reduce fossil fuel use

   We are exploring way to source bottles manufactured in Canada

   We are looking to improve internal systems so more of our data is stored in Canada
