If you are concerned about the impacts of shipping and shipping materials, I would encourage you to source your specialty drinks closer to home, support drinkmakers in your region, and in the meantime we will always be researching and testing more sustainable shipping materials.We endeavour to stock drinks in lighter materials like plastic pouches and aluminium cans - these go a long way to minimize the emissions from shipping purely due to space and weight. There are environmental impacts from all methods of shipping, but there is significantly less packaging used when shipping by the palette and case, so by supporting businesses near you and buying in-person, you are eliminating the need for that extra packing to get it to your home.If you live in BC and want to see products we sell in a store near you - feel free to let us know - we will see what we can do! Thank you for reading this - you clearly care about the choices we and you make and we thank you for this. We are trying our best!
