As anyone who’s visited taylorsimpact.com knows, environmental issues are a very big deal for us. Our teas and coffees – and the company as a whole – have been certified CarbonNeutral®. And we’re working hard to make sure that soon all our packaging materials can be recycled by local councils. Until then, we’ve teamed up with TerraCycle so that our customers can recycle the plastics that councils don’t collect.
