Our sustainability commitment at The Spice Age

Why we act on plastic

Our spices come in plastic. We've done the research and unfortunately, compostable packaging is not quite where it needs to be yet. Until we have a better option, we are partnering with Cleanhub to lessen our footprint.

Most companies are plastic negative. We are plastic neutral. For every piece of plastic we produce, that amount will be diverted from the ocean.

More than
2 billion people worldwide
dispose of their trash in nature because there are no waste collection services.

Through our partnership with CleanHub, we fund waste collection in coastal communities where services were previously unavailable or not affordable.

This year we're supporting these sustainability projects

Through CleanHub, we fund projects that collect plastic waste - either directly from nature, at community collection points or directly from local households. The plastic is then sorted and any material that can be recycled is reused. Plastic that cannot be recycled is used as an alternative fuel in cement production, replacing coal and gas. This prevents the plastic from entering the environment again.
