Responsible Choices

Responsible choices

The choices we make as businesses and individuals are our most powerful tools when it comes to combating global warming and preserving our planet. At Together, we consider the impact of every last decision we make.

PLASTIC-FREE PACKAGING

We developed our pack along with A Plastic Planet, an environmentalist group with a long term goal of reducing the use of the indestructible plastics destroying our oceans, soils, air and the health of future generations.

Avoiding plastic in our pouches was non-negotiable for us. Your product packaging is made from renewable sources, and we never use any plastic postage packaging or filling.

COMPOSTABLE

Our supplements are kept safe in their packs, which protect the delicate natural co-nutrients inside them. The packaging is compostable, made from cornstarch with an outer layer and - most importantly - a barrier film made from renewable wood pulp to protect your customers' supplements from the elements.

Ideally, pouches should end up where they belong - back in the ground. Let’s work together to leave nothing behind by composting pouches after use.

A FEW WAYS YOU CAN HELP:

Industrial Composting
If your customers have access to industrial composting this is a great disposal solution for Together pouches. We hope to see more and more councils offer this service in the coming years.

Home Composting
All of the individual layers that make up the pouch are certified home compostable, however we would only recommend this option for very experienced composters. A study has estimated that only 10% of people effectively compost packaging at home. If your customers do feel they have the conditions to home compost the pouch, we’d still recommend cutting it into small pieces first.

Household waste bin
If packaging does end up in your standard household waste, it will create heat which is used to generate energy (more than wood and food) when incinerated and will not release toxic gases. In landfill, it will generally remain inert.

Looking to the future
We understand the challenges of the packaging industry and we are staying on top of all new developments to find ever more environmentally friendly options. Our goal remains strong to finding solutions that protect the delicate natural co-factors and nutrients in our products with minimal environmental impact

Sustainable
Sourcing

Plant source vitamin D3
Rather than harvesting it from the trees, we use naturally-fallen Reindeer Lichen from multiple regions. This way, we can keep our footprint to a minimum and avoid any disruption to the natural environment.

Calcium from calcified seaweed
We are proud to source our calcium from calcified algae. These are swept along by ocean currents to designated harvesting areas with no local marine life, hundreds of kilometres away from living algae.

Omega-3 from Sustainably Grown Algae
While up to 25% of global catch is used to produce fish oil products, algae is actually a far more environmentally-friendly source of Omega-3. Fish oil production is damaging our oceans and contributing to over-farming. That’s why our algae is grown sustainably on land.

CARBON NEUTRAL

All of us would be more content if we knew we were leaving the planet no worse off from doing what we do. This journey starts with minimising our carbon footprint, then offsetting any company emissions by reinvesting into Amazon rainforest planting. Together Health is a proudly certified Carbon Neutral® company, and offset:

Vehicles travelling to and from work.

Any electricity used in our offices.

Emissions from postal orders.

It’s a good start, but we know we still have lots of work to do. We’re working towards reaching our goal every day.

VEGAN & CRUELTY FREE

We believe a well-planned vegan diet can not only be a healthy choice but also a choice towards a more ethical and sustainable future. All our products are vegan certified and free from animal-derived ingredients. And because we never test our formulations or ingredients on animals, we proudly display the PeTA approved badge.
