Yorkshire Tea Bags 3.25 Kg (1040 tea bags)

Product Information

Things were going great again, and then the pandemic hit. Covid has brought big changes for factories, and keeping our staff distanced meant keeping production simple. You’ll have seen pictures of panic buying and empty shelves, and it was really all we could do to keep tea flowing out the door fast enough to get it to people. Our tea experts taste brew after brew to make sure it's always perfect. It's a tough job, but somebody's got to do it. If you don’t yet have a bin to industrially compost your tea bags, we’re really sorry. If you’re willing to, you can snip open your used tea bags and compost the tea inside at home; otherwise, please put your tea bags in your refuse bin. What else is a tea bag made from?

You might’ve seen PLA teabags called "biodegradable", "plastic free" or "home compostable". You can read a bit more about why we don’t use those terms below.PLA tea bags are sometimes called “plastic free”, but we’ve never used that label and WRAP, the people behind the UK Plastics Pact, also advise against it because plant-based plastics are still plastics. They can go in kerbside garden waste or food waste bins, to go off for industrial composting by your local council. If you don’t have either of these, you can snip open your used tea bags, compost the tea inside at home, and put the bag itself in your refuse bin. If you don’t want to do that, the alternative is to put your tea bag in your refuse bin. The Government is working on timings for all councils to collect food waste and we expect most households to have these by 2025 at the latest. Until then, sadly not everyone will be able to compost our PLA tea bags. Like a lot of new materials created to replace the less sustainable stuff we’ve all relied on for ages, PLA’s far from perfect.

From the classic British cuppa to a guilt-free decaff and tasty camomile to fruity infusions you, your guests and staff can banish thirst for good.We regularly work with companies who need wholesale quantities of our tea bags for use in things like mailshots and marketing campaigns. So give our team a call to discuss the options. Then we called in Sheffield University, who helped us study the tea bag paper. We used what we learned to work with the supplier to redevelop it. Pop these plant-based tea bags in your food or garden waste bin for council composting. Please recycle the cardboard box too. We're replacing the oil-based plastic that seals our tea bags with a plant-based plastic called polylactic acid, or PLA. What about people who don’t have a food waste or garden waste bin, or whose council doesn’t accept tea bags in garden waste bins?
