You use so much plastic – why?Updated a month ago

We understand concerns around plastic use and want to reassure you that at The Turmeric Co., sustainability is at the core of every decision we make.

♻️ Why we use our specific bottles:

Our bottles are made from 100% eco-friendly materials, including:

• 75% recycled plastic (rPET)

• 25% biodegradable plastic made from sugar cane – a renewable source that avoids reliance on fossil fuels.

These materials are fully recyclable at home, and our packaging has been carefully chosen to support both environmental responsibility and product integrity.

🌍 Why this material is necessary:

To ensure the highest quality and nutritional value in our shots, every bottle undergoes a specialist cold treatment known as High Pressure Processing (HPP). This process:

• Eliminates harmful microorganisms without heat or additives

• Helps retain natural nutrients from our ingredients

• Extends shelf life safely and naturally

Importantly, HPP must be applied directly to the final packaging, which is why a specific type of plastic is required — one that can withstand the pressure while preserving the product’s quality.

✅ We're committed to improving:

Items you can recycle at home:

• Delivery Box - 100% recyclable – simply flatten and place in your household paper/card recycling bin.

• Shot Bottles - Recyclable in your plastics bin – we recommend rinsing them before recycling.
