For the Environment
At Túffenup, our goal is to provide strength and resilience for people and the planet. We believe all decisions should consider environmental and social impacts as fixed costs of doing business. We don't inflate our prices to fund our ethics, we take a smaller margin to make both happen. We commit 6% of our sales revenue to our values, with 1% dedicated to verified plastic removal and reforestation.
Material & Supply Chain Footprint
This is how we currently manage our packaging and logistics. As things change, we'll document them here:
- Hard Grit Tin: 100% aluminium with an HDPE lid liner. Made in China; we aim to offset production and shipping emissions with our 1% commitment. We're actively researching plastic-free liner options; the aluminium tin itself stays, as it's infinitely recyclable.
- Freight: Empty tins to the lab for filling, filled tins to distribution warehouses. Currently unmeasured; we're in negotiations with suppliers and investigating better logistics solutions.
- Inserts & Flyers: 100% recycled paper, printed locally to the distribution warehouses using low-impact inks. We're working on redesigns to make these smaller where possible.
- Logistics Fulfillment: Localised distribution hubs, plastic-free mailers. As operations grow, we'll open hubs closer to customers in all locations available.
Offsetting our Impact
- Greenspark: Every order funds real environmental action through Greenspark, with 6 plastic bottles removed, tracked and verified per order.
