In 2022, the U.K. ranked 11th in global sustainability from the Sustainable Development Report, while the U.S. ranked 41st. A recent trip to the U.K. showcases all the ways Brits are really focusing on their sustainability efforts.
In 2018, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA), about 146.1 million tons of solid waste was sent to the landfill. Food waste was measured at about 24 percent of that total. Containers and packaging clocked in at 28.1 percent. That’s 52.1% of our total landfill waste that can be avoided. How?
By composting and choosing products in compostable packaging. Composting is the natural process of recycling items, like food scraps, yard waste or bio-based packaging, into an amazing fertilizer that can enrich plant growth. It’s plant-based alchemy!
Since day one of Solid Roots’ inception our goal has always been to be an impact-driven business that contributes to repairing our Earth and the beings that live on it. We decided that the best approach was to create our Root Cause of the Quarter initiative where we donate $1 from every bar sold to a different worthy cause each quarter.
