The herbs that we use in our blends have been used to aid healing for 100’s of years and grow best in good soil when exposed to natural weather cycles and sunshine. They are natures medicine cabinet, and we need to take care of their environment (which we happen to share) so that they can continue to grow, and we can continue to harvest and use them.
At Hello Wellness, we take our sustainable credentials very seriously
Our office building was designed with sustainability in mind. It’s a roundwood building, made from local timber and hemp plaster, so it has a much lower carbon footprint than traditional building materials.
It’s also powered by solar panels, and we’ve installed air source heat pumps for heating and hot water, which are much more efficient than traditional heating systems. By reducing our energy consumption, we’re able to reduce our carbon footprint and lessen our impact on the environment.
We’re also committed to sustainable production and so we use a UK manufacturer to blend the herbs and fill our capsules. They work with us to source the best quality ingredients, organic where possible and with the lowest available “herb miles”. Like us, they are committed to using no plastic shipping packaging, source their electricity from renewable sources and offset their carbon footprint with Ecologi.
Reducing waste is another key commitment for hello wellness and so we make our packaging as sustainable as possible. The packaging we use is reused, recycled and biodegradable if at all possible, and fully recyclable otherwise. Our pots are made from plant plastic and are fully biodegradable
Without nature, Hello Wellness would not be where it is today. We look after our planet to produce our range of products from natural and organic ingredients.
We use UK native herbs, reducing their herb miles and therefore the amount of energy required to transport them at each stage of their journey. Herbs native to the UK provide all the properties we need, for example research and experience show us that Lemon Balm does everything that Ashwaganda does.
We use blends of herbs instead of single ingredients, so that you can often take one of our products instead of several separate things. This brings a huge saving in packaging and cost.
We’ve also taken steps to make our products more sustainable by using plant-based capsules which have a lower carbon footprint than a gelatine capsule. This also makes our products accessible to those who follow a plant-based lifestyle.
The natural ingredients in our capsules have simply been dried, powdered and blended which is a more sustainable way to produce a food supplement. Most supplements are processed in a lab using complicated extraction techniques. We much prefer to trust nature and use the whole plant, in its natural form which the body recognises and can easily absorb.
