Packaging & Plastic
Is organic agriculture really better for the environment?
Yes it is.
- Organic farming promotes biodiversity, reduces pollution, conserves water, reduces soil erosion, increases soil fertility
- It uses less energy per kg of food produced. Organic farmers don’t use synthetic nitrogen fertilisers that uses huge amounts of fossil fuels to manufacture
- Avoids pollution from pesticides and fertilisers - which is also better for nearby birds and animals as well as the people who live close to the farms.
What can we as customers do to help ?
We at Zama are all about building a community. If possible, please return the glass packaging items to us so we can reuse them and be more conscious towards building a sustainable environment. To encourage this even more, we’ll add in 50 zama points to your account for every 10 glass packaging items that you return. We’re in this together!
I’m disappointed Zama uses plastic? Are you working on this?
Reducing environmental impact is in our DNA and we only use packaging where it’s essential. In some instances we use plastic to protect succulent fruit and veg (such as leafy greens) from dehydration, which would otherwise lead to food waste. We are working hard to remove the minimal plastic we use. In the meantime, we are trying to use biodegradable plastic as much as we can. Please feel free to return any plastic packaging that you can’t recycle, and we’ll dispose of it responsibly.
Why do you use packaging at all? Can’t it be loose in the crate?
All our items are delivered in open crates so as to not waste bags to carry your order. Wherever possible we pack items loose within the crate, but we need packaging in most instances. For example, without packaging, leafy greens would dehydrate, fragile items such as tomatoes and mushrooms would be easily damaged, and we wouldn’t be able to weigh out portions of items accurately.
When suitable, we use paper bags, but for some produce, paper bags aren't an option. If we were to use paper for leafy greens and salad, the paper very quickly draws moisture from the produce and reduces its shelf life and quality, resulting in food waste. If you’d like, you can always give us cloth bags that we’ll use specifically to pack some items in your orders.
Can we recycle the packaging you use - are there schemes to give it back to you?
We at Zama are all about building a community. If possible, please return the glass packaging items to us so we can reuse them and be more conscious towards building a sustainable environment. To encourage this even more, we’ll add in 50 zama points to your account for every 10 glass packaging items that you return. We’re in this together!
Should I wash my produce after receiving it from Zama?
We aim to give you great tasting, ethically produced food, while trying to have a minimal impact on the environment. We avoid mechanically washing our vegetables as it can damage them, reduce shelf life, nutritional content and flavour. Washing is best done as close to eating as possible, so we leave this job to you. Our philosophy on packaging is also simple - use as little as possible without compromising quality.
