These
boxes don't just look
natural, they are truly better for the planet.
Teeny
Cakes has an ongoing commitment to doing things that make our
environment better. We are proud to use bakery boxes that
are made from natural paperboard that use typically 25-30% less
fiber than other box materials. Compared to other virgin
fiber products, that's 25-30% fewer trees to produce the same
amount of boxes.
Against
bleached paperboard, it is better for the environment because
strong solvents are not used to bleach the pulp. Also, the
fiber for these natural colored boxes comes from SFI
(Sustainable Forestry Initiative) lumber - lumber collected
and reforested utilizing environmentally friendly practices.
Also,
the plastic window on these bakery boxes is recyclable,
biodegradable, and compostable. The food-safe film that is
used on these boxes is not your typical petroleum-cased
plastic. It is safe for the environment, because it is a
cellulose-based product made from plants. Like the natural
bakery boxes we use, the wood pulp used to make our window
material is harvested in accordance with the Sustainable forestry
Initiative Standard. The SFI certified practices like
replanting more trees than are harvested each year and making sure
no endangered hard woods are used.
