Say No To Plastic

At Resident Pheasant we’re all about being Kind to the Planet. Heck, it’s part of our DNA and our brand ethos! We’ve made a promise to help reduce the amount of plastic we are using in this world and you can see the steps we’ve taken to launch products that abide by this rule. 
 
Why? Did you know that currently only 6% of UK’s plastic packaging is being recycled? When we recycle it reduces waste sent to landfills and incinerators, which in turn can lead to less impact to global warming and as a result, less harm to the planet.
 
Some chocolate bars are elaborately wrapped in plastic layers to make them look more attractive, put into more plastic bags and then loaded into plastic carrier bags to shrink them together.
 
This is absolutely not what we do here at Resident Pheasant. 
 
So how do we make our packaging more environmentally friendly?

We knew it was important to make the Resident Pheasant range the best in every way possible, keeping the chocolate tasting fresh but doing little harm the planet. That’s why we took the 3 step approach to ensure this was the case:

Step 1: Keepin’ It Fresh

Once our chocolate has cooled from the mould, it is ready to be wrapped to stay nice and fresh. That’s why we choose NatureFlex™ packaging films. They offer high barriers to aspects which can impact the taste and smell of food such as oxygen and aromas, but without nasty plastic particles. The shelf life is maintained (although we don’t expect your Resident Pheasant Chocolate to last that long!) 

NatureFlex™ is made from eucalyptus pulp, an organic material that is both biodegradable and compostable. Dispose of this in your compost bin. 

Step 2: Colour Me Kind

We add our outer packaging to show off the flavour. Despite the fancy designs, eye-catching colours and enticing patterns, this outer layer is widely recyclable in your kerbside bin and won’t get sent to landfill, hip hip hooray! 

Step 3: Box the Choc

All our tissue paper, cardboard shipping boxes, sleeves are all cardboard. We ship this to you in kraft paper with kraft sealing tape. Everything can also go straight into the recycling without any issues.
