Little Sky Gelato Sustainability Actions

Reusable and compostable serviceware

For tasting our gelato you’ll be served with re-useable spoons (the humble metal teaspoon). If you choose to have a cup and a spoon for your gelato, we hope you will be pleased to know we’ve elected to use fully compostable containers and spoons. Our take-home containers are also fully compostable containers, or, you can use a ReturnR canister.

ReturnR canister option

All you need to do is pay a $6 deposit for the twin walled stainless steel ReturnR canister which keeps your gelato chilled on the trip home. Once you’ve finished your gelato you simply rinse the container and then return it to us or any cafe in the ReturnR network to have it refilled or your deposit refunded. Then repeat!

Food scraps composting

Instead of putting our fruit scraps, and coffee grinds, into general waste to be sent to landfill, these scraps are put into Bayside Council’s Green bin. This organic waste then gets recycled into high-quality compost used by Victorian farmers.

Uses 100% green power

Little Sky only uses 100% green power. Its a conscious choice we can all make and sends a really good message to our power companies that the days of fossil fuels and burning coal like there’s no 2030 is over.
