At Scrumpy Soap Co we are working towards being a "Zero Waste" company where any materials which might be regarded as waste are either recycled, re-used, composted, reclaimed, or brought back into the production cycle. All our packaging used to send orders has been reused or recycled and our small gift boxes are made of 100% post consumer waste material. Cardboard can be recycled 5 times before the fibres are no longer re useable but with so much new waste, this just hasn't happened.
Our marketing material is our bag. This has all our business and product information on both sides so there is no need for brochures or business cards. We never offer plastic bags.
We use our soap scraps to make up a slurry which gets poured into the washing machine to wash our clothes and as the soap is completely bio degradable, this can go straight out and onto the lawn, garden or into a grey water tank. It is nice that our clothes can smell different with every wash depending on the soap leftovers used.
All water used in the making of Scrumpy Soap is pure rain water. No chlorine, fluoride or aluminium that you might find in unfiltered tap water, is in our soaps.
Most of the herbs used are grown here in our own garden using "no spray". The fruits, olive oils and honey are often able to be sourced locally and we use solar power in the Soapery. (See facebook for updated photos on how we built our Scrumpy Soapery using reclaimed materials.)
Scrumpy Soap Co is always endevouring to be a "Zero Waste" business and hopes to be a leader in environmentally sustainable work practices.
Reusing is better than recycling.
