Sustainability
Our Sustainability Pledge
At Village Dairy, we are dedicated to creating delicious yogurt while minimizing our impact on the environment.
We believe that sustainability is not just a trend, but a crucial part of doing business responsibly. Here’s a look at some of the ways we are working to make our yogurt more sustainable.
We’re ditching the lids
Plastic Reduction Initiative
We understand that plastic waste is a significant environmental issue, and we’re committed to doing our part to reduce our plastic usage.
That’s why we’re proud to announce we’ve removed plastic lids from all of our big pots. We believe that small changes can make a big difference, and we’re committed to finding new and innovative ways to reduce our plastic usage. From now on we recommend storing in a reusable pot or why not try our suggestions below to store safely in the fridge for longer. If you want to ditch plastic completely, cover the pot with a Natural Beeswax food wrap.
You can also email us at sustainability@villagedairy.co.uk to request an extra lid, whilst stocks last.
sustainable big pot packaging
Easy recyclability
We are always looking for ways to make it easier for our customers to recycle our pots.
Which is why we are proud to introduce our newest packaging for our big pot yogurts. The cardboard sleeve is sourced from responsibly sustained forests and the new tear away tab enables you to easily remove the cardboard sleeve from the plastic pot so you can recycle both parts responsibly, helping to protect the planet and it’s future.
Power that doesn’t cost the earth
CARBON FOOTPRINT REDUCTION
As part of our ongoing sustainability commitment , Llaeth y Llan have installed a 180kW Solar Panel System to reduce our energy consumption.
This, in turn will help us reduce our impact on the environment and ensure that we invest in a greener future.
