PRODUCING NEW PRODUCTS THAT ARE SUSTAINABLE AND "GREEN" STILL IMPACT THE PLANET. IT`S IMPOSSIBLE TO CLAIM OTHERWISE. AT MADE IN VANILLE'S, WE ACKNOWLEDGE THAT WE HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO UNDERSTAND THIS IMPACT AND REDUCE IT TO THE MAXIMUM OF OUR CAPABILITIES.
OUR APPROACH IS TO REDUCE IT AT EVERY STAGE STARTING WITH PRODUCT DESIGN TO END-OF-LIFE.
SUSTAINABLE DESIGN
TOO OFTEN COMPANIES WILL FOCUS ON THE FORMULA AND DISREGARD THE USE OF THE PRODUCT AND ITS END-OF-LIFE. TO BE SUSTAINABLE, ONE MUST HAVE IMPECCABLE QUALITY, SOURCE SUSTAINABLE INGREDIENTS / MATERIALS AND a focus on LONG-TERM USE.
CLEAN & BIODEGRADABLE
THIS IS A CONCEPT THAT WE APPLY TO INGREDIENTS, MATERIALS AND PACKAGING. THIS PHILOSOPHY ALSO EXTEND TO OUR PRODUCTION METHODS, LOGISTICS AND SHIPPING. WE PRODUCE MAINLY IN CANADA AND JAPAN FOR QUALITY PURPOSES USING MOSTLY ECOCERT ACCREDITED FACILITIES. OUR PRODUCTS ARE DESIGNED FOR LONG TERM SUSTAINABILITY IN HARMONY WITH THE PLANET. WE USE ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY AND / OR BIODEGRADABLE MATERIALS FOR THE MAJORITY OF OUR PACKAGING.
REDUCE, RECYCLE, UPSYCLE
OUR GOAL FOR EACH ASPECT OF OUR LOGISTICS, IS SOURCE REDUCTION, RECYCLE AND UPSYCLE. HERE IS AN IN-HOUSE EXAMPLE: WE’VE REDUCE THE NUMBER OF BOXES/PACKAGING NEEDED TO TRANSPORT MANUFACTURED GOODS THROUGH CAREFUL PLANNING. ONCE THE SHIPMENT IS RECEIVED, WE MAKE SURE TO REUSE THE SAME BOXES FOR OUR SHIPMENTS AND RECYCLE THE REST AT ALL TIMES. AS WE STRIVE FOR OPTIMAL EFFICIENCY, WE WILL FURTHER IMPROVE THE PROCESS BY RE-EVALUATING AS NECESSARY.
EVERY ORDER = PLANT A TREE
We are commited to greening our planet and allocate funds to the following organizations:
EVERY YEAR, WE CONTRIBUTE AT LEAST 1% OF OUR SALES TO NON-FOR-PROFIT CHARITIES FOCUSED ON REDUCING THE ENVIRONMENTAL FOOTPRINT / CARBON IMPACT. THIS YEAR, WE ARE A MEMBER OF THE ECO PACKAGING ALLIANCE WHICH ENSURES THAT OUR SHIPPING MATERIALS / PACKAGING ARE ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY. IN ADDITION, EACH ORDER PLACED ON OUR SITE CONTRIBUTES TO CANADIAN REFORESTATION THROUGH TREE CANADA. TREE CANADA IT`S MORE THAN 83 MILLION TREES PLANTED AND MORE THAN 10 COMMUNITIES RECOVERED FROM NATURAL DISASTERS.
