Environmental Information

Here at Primeval, we are passionate about our planet and the impact we as a company have on the world. We strive to ensure we only use recyclable packaging where possible; this includes our tape (yes, really!) Our tape is 100% recyclable and uses only the most environmentally friendly ink, where possible we use recyclable packaging, and encourage customers to repurpose their plastic tubs.

​

All of our products can be recycled, and we strongly encourage all of our customers to recycle or repurpose as much as possible. We all know the impact that plastic has on our planet and our oceans, which is why here at Primeval, we use kraft paper pouches for our Raw Range and our Tasters. We strongly encourage our customers to dispense their Raw Range pouches into any previously purchased Primeval Tub, a glass container or other receptacle you possess, or just use the pouch it comes in! Our tubs and pouches are shipped in cardboard boxes with paper fillers to protect your items and are stamped with biodegradable ink. 

All of our sample sachets are packaged in recyclable, paper pouches and shipped in small letter sized cardboard packaging.

​

We are always looking for ways to improve and become more environmentally friendly, which is why we are working hard with outside companies to bring you even more in the way of recyclable packing; keep an eye on your emails to be informed of our latest products (and a cheeky discount, too!) Please read our Environmental Policy below for more information on how we are making a positive impact in-house.
