Although we have much room for improvement, below are some of the things we are currently doing in the name of sustainability.
 |
Cartons, boxes and caddies made with wind power
|
 |
All cardboard is made with 100% recycled paper
|
 |
Our jars are made from 100% Post-Consumer Recycled plastic! Keep recycling!
|
 |

No PPO- As of 2007 all US Almonds have to be pasteurized before fit for human consumption
due to recent outbreaks of Salmonella. Most Almonds are treated with the chemical and known
carcinogen propylene oxide (PPO) while we pay a premium to have all of our almonds steam pasteurized.

| • |
No GMOs |
| • |
No VOC-We use Zero VOC inks on out cartons and squeeze packs |
| • |
No BPA-Our jars are BPA-free |
|

This year we made a commitment to sustainable packaging. Our goal is to implement a compostable squeeze pack
film by December 2011. We need your help to achieve our goal! To find out more visit our Sustainable Squeeze Pack Journey

All ingredients are sourced as locally and sustainably as possible
| • |
For example, our organic palm fruit oil comes from one of the only sustainable palm farms in
the world to minimize clear-cutting of the rainforests. For more information click here
|
| • |
Also, all of our nuts are sourced domestically to support local economies and minimize our carbon footprint
|
| - |
Peanuts from New Mexico not China or Georgia
|
| - |
Hazelnuts from Oregon not Italy
|
| - |
Almonds from California not Italy or Spain
|
|
 |
The majority of our ingredients are Organic
Due to short supply and extraordinarily high pricing we are unable to source organic hazelnuts and almonds at this time. Our future goals include converting all ingredients to organic
|
 |
Living in Boulder, CO gives us 360 days of sunshine each year! Our whole team tries to ride our bikes,
carpool or ride the bus to work whenever possible
