Sustainability
At Bottled Goose, we are dedicated to protecting and preserving the health and beauty of our planet. We believe that together, we can make a positive impact by cultivating sustainable practices at every stage of our business operations.
Our commitment to sustainability is reflected in our environmentally responsible facilities, which prioritise energy efficiency, waste reduction, and the use of eco-friendly materials. We also strive for ingredient transparency, ensuring that our customers have access to all the information they need to make informed choices about the products they purchase.
In addition to our facilities, we are conscientious about our energy consumption. We constantly look for ways to innovate and improve our processes in order to reduce our carbon footprint and minimize our impact on the environment.
At Bottled Goose, the health of our customers and the environment is of paramount importance. That's why we work with suppliers and labs to thoroughly test our products and ensure they meet strict environmental policies.
We are also committed to using environmentally conscious couriers, such as DHL and DPD, who share our values and prioritise reducing their footprint on the planet.
Together, we can protect and preserve the health and beauty of our planet for generations to come.
Building & Facilities
-
- In 2021, we upgraded our building to be more energy efficient, with the latest equipment.
-
- We are introducing incentives for local businesses to order locally, so we are setting up a collection point from our workshop.
-
- Our next focus is in our fulfilment sector, introducing more sustainable packaging options. We check our parcel couriers such as DHL & DPD to make sure they share our values and priorities in reducing their footprint.
Business Model
-
- The way in which companies manufacture and buy has to improve. Manufacturing models have become obsolete. Mass manufacturing overseas, only to drive the price down, leaving you with unsold stock which will end up going to waste.
-
- Where we can, we buy stock from the UK and Europe, unfortunately there aren’t always enough options, with a great number of products being produced overseas.
-
- At Bottled Goose, we focus and have built our business model around ordering what you need when you need it. Order in small batches and restock quickly.
-
- Print on demand is a great option for customers looking for a more sustainable option whilst also being able to offer new products. We only print when you sell, allowing you to have zero waste while still offering multiple different designs and products.
-
- In the UK 7.7 billion plastic water bottles are used each year, with the average person in the UK now using 150 plastic water bottles every year – that’s more than 3 a week. Many are discarded, and end up polluting our rivers and seas. Staggeringly if just 1 in 10 Brits Refilled just once a week, we’d save around 340 million plastic bottles a year.
Printing equipment
-
- Our digital machines allow us to use less ink and energy, they produce less waste resulting in a smaller carbon footprint.
-
- We print directly onto the vessel removing any need for transfer papers or plastic labels and sleeves.
-
- Stickers are widely used by manufacturers but due to the quality of our print, the design becomes part of the vessel which makes people more inclined to keep the vessels after they have been used.
