T2 Sustainability Actions

B Corp certified and recertified

T2 says it became a Certified B Corporation in 2020 and was recertified in 2023. B Corp is a certification for companies that meet social and environmental standards, not just profit goals. The brand also says its B Corp status reflects work on people, planet, and supply chain impact. The B Lab listing in the content shows an overall score of 104.5, which suggests the company met the certification threshold and performed well across the assessment.

Tea sourced sustainably since 2021

T2 says that 100% of its tea has been sustainably sourced since 2021. It describes this as covering fruits, spices, tea leaves, and herb bushes used in its products. The brand also says some teas come from the same region each year, while others are sourced from different regions depending on season and quality. This is a sourcing claim from the brand itself, so it shows intent and practice, but it is not independently verified in the content.

Switched to compostable teabags

T2 says its tea has come in compostable teabags since 2021. It explains that the bag and string are made from PLA, a plant-based bioplastic made from corn starch. The paper tag uses vegetable ink, and the bag is heat sealed without glue or staples. In simple terms, this means the company has tried to reduce hard-to-dispose packaging parts, although compostable materials still need the right waste system to break down properly.

Most packaging is recyclable

T2 says almost all of its packaging is recyclable, reusable, or compostable, and that it adds disposal logos to help customers sort it correctly. It also says its shopping bags can be recycled after reuse, and that its gift wrap is mostly recyclable apart from stickers. This points to a packaging design approach that tries to make disposal easier and reduce waste, although the claim comes from the brand rather than an outside assessor.

Supplier audits for teaware

T2 says it regularly checks working conditions in its teaware factories using third-party audits based on SMETA or BSCI. SMETA is a common social audit method, and BSCI is a business-led supply chain standard focused on labour conditions. The brand says it will stop working with suppliers that fail these audits. It also says it sometimes works with small family-owned makers in countries such as Portugal, Nepal, and Japan, using their own standards.

Offsets travel emissions

A third-party customer story says T2 Tea is listed as a customer of Tasman Environmental Markets, where it appears alongside a case about climate action technology and carbon projects. The page names T2 Tea in a customer list, but it does not give full detail on the brand’s own emissions plan. Because the source is indirect, this only shows that T2 has been connected to a carbon-offsetting service, not the full scope of its climate strategy.
