Do you need us to send you samples of our Planet Friendly™ products?
We are pretty confident you will love our products, they are designed to be great at what they do and are designed to be good for the planet, so what's not to like, but we appreciate that seeing and trying some of our products helps you to make certain they are ideal for you.
We provide samples as we feel you will love what we do and buying from The Pure Option does tell the world you are a responsible business owner.
Order samples in 3 easy steps.
1. Add what products you are interested in the box.
2. Not sure what will work for you, no problem , tell us about the amazing food and drinks you sell and we will add products people in your industry typically order.
3. Click add to cart.
Please note we charge only what it costs to send your samples using a tracked service ( we have tried sending items using non tracked services but Royal Mail tend to lose these) but we will give you 10% off all future orders to make up for this and it does trigger our Free carbon audits for all future orders.
Sorry we have to charge for shipping and we used to send these free of charge using a basic service but sadly the number of items lost in transit means we need to send them using a tracked route that sadly means we can no longer absorb the cost of sending samples but as mentioned we will give you 10% off all future orders, which should more than cover the cost.
Each product has it's own carbon saving based on what is is made of.
Our products are made from one or more of the following materials.
Corn (PLA) - Made from waste generated by the corn industry.
Natureflex™ - Made from paper fibers.
Cardboard and Paper - This always comes from sustainable forest sources where at least one tree is planet to replace a tree felled, typically these sources are FSC™ certfied forests.
Bagasse - These products come from waste generated by the sugar industry.
Vegetables - These products usually come from starch from vegetables , usually potatoes.
For more information check the product on our website and click on the made from tab.
No matter how you dispose of any of our products, there are no downsides as they are made from plants , they just break down into planet friendly compost and add positively to the environment, that doesn't mean we think it's great for them to be sent to landfill but even if they do get sent to landfill, they still don't contaminate the environment, they are made from plants after-all but there is better ways to dispose of them.
Commerical Food Waste Collections - Can be composted into macro nutrient rich compost in under 6 weeks in commercial or home food waste collection.
Home Composting - Can be composted at home but times vary in home composters depending on compost health and location.
Recycling - Certain products can also be recycled ( see disposal tab on the listing as a guide) and in some locations bio polymers can be recycled although we would always recommend composting first.
We were one of the UK's first companies to distribute plant based packaging (if not the first) , all the way back in 2003 (we went off and did some other things and returned in 2018) but our mission is still the same, to replace toxic packaging with Planet Friendly plant based packaging.
We have Europe's largest range of compostable and biodegradable products with 300+ products made from plants which means when they are disposed of , they turn into compost, which is great for the environment and completely circular.
Switching to plant made packaging doesn't have to cost more and you don't have to compromise on quality, durability and function, as our 300+ products have all been tested to be better than the harmful plastic alternative.
We aren't ecological warriors but we believe we can all make a difference, if you can replace your environmentally damaging packaging with our plant based products, you can have all of the benefits without any of the negatives ethical and environmental downsides.
