Packaging is a complex space, with a wide range of materials all making different sustainability claims - from recyclable plastics and cardboard to compostable and plant-based alternatives. While many of these sound like better choices, the reality often depends on how they are processed after use. In the UK, not all materials are supported by existing waste systems, meaning some options don’t get treated in the way people expect once they’re disposed of.

At Glamp Gourmet, the focus is on what actually works in the real world. That means choosing food-safe, practical packaging that can be genuinely recycled through existing UK systems, while staying open and honest about the trade-offs. As infrastructure evolves, these decisions will continue to be reviewed - but for now, the priority is making informed, transparent choices that are as simple and responsible as possible.
