Packaging and Recycling
We are working to ‘close the loop’ on our packaging. We are members of the Plastic Pact and have made good progress on our journey to making sure all of our plastic packaging is fully recyclable and made from recycled plastic.
How to Recycle our Pouches
1. Our pouches can’t currently be recycled through local curb side collections so you will need to order an envelope through our website. This option will be available in the coming days but if you’d like to order one before this time then please email your name and address to hello@yeovalley.co.uk and state that you’re requesting a ‘Little Yeo’s recycling envelope’.
2. Make sure your pouch is completely empty of yogurt and rinse.
3. You will need to pop the plastic lids into your recycling box. These aren’t recyclable in the envelope.
4. Pop your clean and empty pouches into the Yeo envelope. It’s best to save up your pouches and send them all back together, we recommend a maximum of 13 pouches to fill the envelope.
5. Post to our recycling partner Enval via Royal Mail.
Our Super Thick Kerned pots are made from 100% RPET...
Yes that’s right, they are made from 100% recycled plastic. A first in the yogurt world!
You might have noticed that these pots seem a little wobbly but that’s because the plastic content is lower than our standard pots. Being made from 100% recycled plastic isn’t easy but it is the right thing to do.
How to Recycle our Yogurt Pots
Our pots are recyclable – you just need to separate them.
1. Scrape out the last spoonful of yogurt from your pot then tear the seam and remove the cardboard sleeve.
2. Rinse the plastic pot clean.
3. Pop the plastic pot in the plastics bin.
4. Pop the sleeve in the cardboard and paper recycling.
How to recycle our milk bottles
Our milk bottles are made with up to 50% recycled content – it’s our greenest bottle yet!
1.Finish your milk!
2.Rinse the empty bottle (no need to peel the label off).
3.Put the empty bottle into your plastic recycling box. Keep the milk tops separate in the box.
How to Recycle our 4-Packs
Currently our 4 pack pots are made with 30% RPET which means that 30% of the plastic used is recycled. We are always working on improving and we’ll keep you posted with updates about how we’re getting on.
1. Remove the outer cardboard sleeve (don’t forget to claim your Yeokens!)
2. Pop the sleeve in your paper recycling bin.
3. Rinse the plastic pot clean.
4. Pop the plastic pot in the plastics bin.
