Our Environmental Packaging Solution
Home Compostable Packaging
Peak Chalk’s packaging is a home compostable plastic pouch. It is made mostly of sustainably grown eucalyptus trees, and can be disposed of with your food waste recycling. It gives all the benefits of conventional plastic with the environmental benefits of paper. This packaging has also been designed, produced and printed in the UK. This way, Peak Chalk also cuts down on the production, transportation and plastic pollution associated with conventional plastic packaging.

Why Eucalyptus trees?
Making plastic packaging from eucalyptus trees makes sense due to their abundance, fast growth, and renewable nature. Eucalyptus trees can be sustainably cultivated, offer carbon capture benefits, and provide a potential source for biodegradable plastics. This approach reduces dependency on fossil fuels and offers a more environmentally friendly alternative.
Why French Chalk?
Sourcing chalk from France to be sold in the UK can be considered environmentally responsible for a few reasons. Firstly, France has large deposits of high-quality chalk, minimizing the need for extensive extraction elsewhere. By sourcing locally, it reduces the carbon emissions associated with long-distance transportation. Additionally, the environmental impact of extraction and processing in France is subject to French regulations, which often include stringent environmental standards. This ensures that the production of chalk follows environmentally responsible practices.
Planting trees.
We also want to be a force for nature by planting a tree for every kilo of chalk that gets sold. We are working with ‘Trillion tree campaign’ to make this a reality. Just a little way of saying thank you.
