Going green: How we’re making Pull The Cork eco-friendly 

From gloomy news on CO2 emissions, through to the rise of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, the message is getting clearer by the day –

• If we’re going to ‘save the planet’, then now’s most definitely the time to change our ways, and create more energy efficient eco-friendly rules without the use of harmful chemicals.

For keeping waste (and costs) to a minimum, as well as for doing your bit for the planet, going green and cutting fossil fuels is a resolution all businesses should seriously consider and commit to it.

Those that still rely heavily on plastic, or who leave their customers with a mini-mountain of packaging waste with each delivery, are in danger of looking seriously out of touch. Consumers are becoming increasingly aware of their impact on the environment, and more than ever before, they actively choose to buy from companies who act responsibly. We at Pull The Cork are stamping down on our global warming footprint and seeking new ways to help improve by starting with eco-friendly packaging.

Becoming more eco-friendly can result in cost savings right across our business. As an example; smarter, more streamlined packaging is generally speaking – cheaper and easier to pack and send, reducing our spend on warehouse labour and shipping, and of course – hopefully reducing the cost to the end consumer (you). Buying locally has been our mission for some-time, but this has proven to be a more expensive and less tactful, so we have now taken this into our own hands.

What eco-friendly packaging will you start to use?

We are starting to use some environmentally friendly packaging from Italy. The Packaging has been tested with all of the leading national and international couriers and has been shown to guarantee maximum reliability in the transport of fragile products (glass). So our bottled liquids (wine) – will travel in absolute safety in our new green packaging. Since the packaging is made solely from corrugated cardboard, it is available at a very competitive price with respect to another packaging currently on the market. The cardboard boxes (with no name) we are introducing respects the environment and have a tiny carbon footprint – as they are made entirely from cardboard, they are a made from 100% recyclable materials. Another great reason to use it.!!

We will be fading out our plastic packaging over the coming months, so don’t be surprised if you see one or two being delivered!

At Pull The Cork we make sure that our range of organic wines is the best on offer. We have tasted our selection of artisan red, rose wines and white wines and select only premium sustainable, natural wines from top producers from all over the world.
