Today we want to celebrate this beautiful planet we call home. We at Vitamin Friends have been doing our part in making sure we are being kind to the Earth, but what about everyone else in America? Out of the 330 million Americans, only 34% recycle, sad, right? We do our best to make sure we do not add to the problem!
When it comes to our goals, we do not only focus on human health but also on the health of the Earth. That is why we choose to be environmentally conscious! It feels good to say that our products are made from post-customer recycled material! Our packaging box is made of cardboard, a biodegradable material. Not only are our gummy bottles recyclable, but they can be reused for any purpose! If you want to use it as a little greenhouse, you certainly can! Need more storage space for your desk? Your paperclips just found a new home! The ideas are endless!
Our mailing boxes are not the only reasons we are eco-friendly, our gummies are vegan! It is important to be mindful of how we are treating the Earth, that is why we are careful of what we put into both our bodies and the world. Our decision to use orange pectin as our gummy derivative benefits humans and the Earth! If you want to know more about the benefits of pectin, read our blog post here! Battle of the Jams: Pectin vs Gelatin.
Because our vitamins are vegan, we have been certified by Vegan.org, how awesome is that?! This amazing non-profit organization is focused on educating the public on the benefits of veganism and opposing animal cruelty. Having certified more than 1,000 companies, this organization has continued to be a credible source of vegan information since 1995! Knowing how trustworthy Vegan.org is, it is a big deal that we have their stamp of approval!
PLUS we’ve got an exciting new project that is coming soon to move Vitamin Friends further towards a sustainable and eco-friendly future!
Happy Earth Day!
