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
