Delivering Dierdre & Andrew's wedding cake in our new SmartCar! June 14 2008
We’re proud to anounce that we are using new biodegradable packaging wherever possible.
Our cold drink cups and salad containers are made of corn based plastic, which is compostable and biodegradable. We’ll soon be using potato-based disposable cutlery, also compostable and biodegradable, we’re just waiting for our supplier to get them in stock, any day now.
Our plastic carry-home bags are made from a biodegradable material which is a by-product of the plastic making process, so not only does it biodegrade in the land-fill, it also reduces the amount of industrial waste being put in the landfill. These bags can also be recycled along with regular plastic shopping bags.
While we are very excited about these new products, we still encourage our customers to bring in thier own re-usable shopping bags, and whenever you can please enjoy your coffee or your lunch in our cafe, where we can serve your food and drinks on real dishes.
We certainly make no claims to being a “green” company, but we are doing what we can to be as envioronmentally friendly as possible in our business practices. We are using compact flourescent lights, all our printing is done on recycled paper, we’ve installed anti-glare tint on our windows to reduce energy consumption, and we are delivering our wedding cakes in a fuel-efficient SmartCar. We’ll continue to make changes wherever we can!
