Charlie’s Fine Food Co. Sustainability Actions

Home compostable cookie packaging

Charlie’s says its Mish Mash Cookies range now uses film that is certified home compostable, plus a fully recyclable box and tray. The company says the film is made from natural materials such as eucalyptus fibre, cassava, and corn starch. It also says the wrapper can break down in a home compost bin within 26 weeks under the right conditions. The packaging is described as independently tested and accredited, which means a third party checked that it meets the stated composting standard.

Solar panels on site

Charlie’s says it has 141 solar panels that generate more than 50,000 kWh of green energy each year. In simple terms, this means the business is using solar power to make some of the electricity it needs. The claim suggests the company is trying to lower its reliance on grid electricity and reduce the environmental impact of its operations, although no wider energy data is given on the page.

Food-waste support with FareShare

Charlie’s says it is helping FareShare in work to reduce food waste and support wellbeing and dignity. FareShare is a charity that redistributes surplus food to people and groups that need it. This points to a social and environmental action, because less food is wasted and more food can be used instead of thrown away. The page does not give a date, amount, or detailed results for this support.

Environmental policy in place

Charlie’s has published an environmental policy that says it will manage environmental risks, reduce pollution, handle waste streams, address biodiversity issues, and report on environmental performance. It also says it will train employees and follow legal requirements, and where possible go beyond them. The policy shows that sustainability is part of the company’s stated management approach, not just a packaging claim.

Use of recyclable and compostable materials

The company says it aims to use biodegradable and recyclable products across its supply chain. It also says all trays are made from 100% recyclable PET plastic, and that it wants to reduce waste through reuse and recycling. PET is a common plastic used in food packaging. The page does not explain how much of the wider product range uses these materials, so the claim is broad rather than fully measured.
