We have redesigned our retail bags with sustainability in mind. Not only are they now made of home-compostable material (the valve is industrially compostable) but the unique cube shape uses less material overall with no reduction in capacity.
In doing this we removed the built-in resealing strip at the top of the bag – these often broke and ultimately went into the bin with the rest of the material. That left us with the problem of how to reseal the bag to maintain freshness. We looked at various options – including compostable ones – but the one that worked best was the type of plastic clip you might have on your frozen peas.
We know that it’s a compromise to go back to plastic, but it does now mean that the same closure can be used multiple times. With that in mind you can always choose to add a free clip with your order, or to opt out and re-use one you already have.
