We vermicompost 90% of our food waste from production onsite. The majority being coffee grounds from Heart & Graft roastery, which were delivered in reusable containers by bike, and the rest being citrus peel from distillation which we collected as a waste product from Manchesters Bars!
Any excess from making our liqueurs is transported by bike to be composted by local orchard projects or for community food prodution.
As well as however much cardboard the worms care to eat. The rest is recycled.
We use no plastic in production. Our corks are low weight, biodegradeable & sourced from Portugal. Our bottles from French glass & recyclable low weight German aluminium. Our labels, paper.
We have no general waste collection, 100% is recycled.
Our energy is provided by an 100% renewable supplier and we plan our energy intensive production around times the grid is powered by renewables.
We choose local suppliers and ingredients for any new product we launch.
This includes locally hand foraged produce which others might consider waste.
We actively source waste produce from Manchesters bars to repurpose into delicious sustainable liquids.
We choose low weight solutions for our Liqueur Cocktail taster kits, with a goal of reducing shipping carbon.
They are packaged in the waste paper from our sugar, which goes into our liqueurs. Every piece of incoming packaging is used on our outgoing orders or recycled.
We do still use 100% recycled plastic wrap for our wholesale orders of Manchester made Liqueurs. We are searching for a solution for this and welcome contact from suppliers who might have an answer.
