Sustainability

We strive to ensure that our packaging has minimal impact on our environment.

Although we’re not perfect, we do have a plan. Here are some of the ways we are seeking to make a difference…

Cartons

We use 95% recycled material in our product packaging cartons.

We use the least possible amount of material per pack.

We use materials that have a low carbon footprint and are in the process of offsetting our carbon omissions via a carbon emissions offset program provided by www.climatepositive.org

Cello Bag inners

The Cello bags used in the packaging of our retail chocolate and tea varieties are made from 100% biodegradable material.

Inks

The inks used in the printing of our retail packaging are all solvent free, made from vegetable extracts.

Shipper Cartons

These are the boxes our products are sent to the shops in. Our retail shipper cartons are made from 80% post consumer recycled paper.

1 Kg Bags

Our 1kg products are currently packaged in foil but will soon be packaged in materials made from paperboard sandwiched between two thin layers of polyethylene plastic (to make it air tight and protect the carton from external moisture).

Our Pyramid Infusers

Our pyramid sachets are made from 100% biodegradable materials.

Ethics

Quality is synonymous with the Somage brand, but not to the detriment of the environment and the quality of life of our farmers and workersQuality is synonymous with the Somage brand, but not to the detriment of the environment and the quality of life of our farmers and workers.

Our teas are primarily sourced ethically direct from certified organic farmers. We are careful to align with growers who are committed to using only organic, environmental, socially ethical and equitable trade practises in the growing, processing and supply of tea for our Chamellia tea range.
