Our products and packaging
We’re committed to reducing the environmental impact of our packaging while protecting the quality of your brews. We’ve made progress in several areas but recognise there is more to do – not only to meet regulatory obligations but also to strengthen our long-term plans to reduce waste and emissions, and help consumers recycle responsibly.
We replaced the oil-based plastic in our tea bags with PLA, a plant-based plastic. All UK supermarket Yorkshire Tea boxes now contain plant-based tea bags. This means that you can pop the used plant-based tea bags in your council food waste collection and garden waste bins to go off to the local council for industrial composting.
