Sustainability: It’s Kind of Our Thing 🌿

Welcome to our little corner of the world where green is our favourite colour. Here at Projuice, we’re not just blending smoothies—we’re blending fresh ideas to protect our planet. From our suppliers to our smoothie cups, every choice we make is a step toward a greener, cleaner future. Pull up a chair (preferably recyclable), and we’ll tell you all about it.

01. Planting Trees

We’re big fans of trees. Not just because they look great and give the occasional squirrel a new crib – but because every tree we plant is a little green superhero. Planting trees helps scrub the air clean, create cozy habitats for wildlife, and even make local ecosystems happier and healthier for everyone (plants, animals, and humans included).

Last year, we rolled up our sleeves and planted more than 500 young trees – think Hazel, Field Maple, Birch, Cherry Beech, and Hawthorne – into the earth. We plan on continuing this into the future. Now that’s what we call a breath of fresh air.

02. Solar Panels

At Projuice, we decided that if the sun’s handing out free energy, we ought to catch some rays! Our rooftop is kitted out with solar panels, working hard day after day to power up our entire building. It’s our little sun-powered secret to running things sustainably.

By generating clean, renewable energy right where we need it, we’re shrinking our carbon footprint and waving goodbye to the age-old reliance on fossil fuels. Every smoothie you sip is made in a space that’s just a little bit brighter, a little bit greener, and a whole lot sunnier – thanks to solar. So next time you bask in the sunshine, know we’re doing the same – and making the planet a bit happier while we’re at it.

03. Sustainable Packaging

Let’s talk packaging—the unsung hero of every delicious smoothie and snack. We’ve waved goodbye to pesky plastics that overstay their welcome, and rolled out the green carpet for packaging with more of a recyclable nature.

From PET recyclable cups and compostable paper straws (the noble sidekick to every smoothie), we’re choosing materials that keep the planet smiling. Our recyclable paper cups and sturdy kraft takeaway food containers? Designed to go out in style—responsibly.

When you pick up your order, you’re not just enjoying something tasty – you’re taking a small but mighty stand for the environment.

04. Electric Charge Points

In early 2024, we installed electric vehicle charging points at both our Exeter and Twyford offices.

This initiative supports the growing number of electric vehicle drivers while fostering a culture of sustainability among our team and visitors.

Alongside this, the introduction of our first electric vehicle further demonstrates our commitment to reducing emissions and investing in long-term, environmentally responsible solutions.

05. Distribution

We’re firm believers that our products don’t need to fly to feel important. That’s why we have a solid no air freight policy – after all, air travel pumps out up to 50 times more CO2 than shipping by sea.

When sea isn’t an option, our goods take the scenic route by road instead. This lets us keep next-day deliveries running smoothly, all while keeping our carbon footprint per order refreshingly low.

By making these choices, we can ensure that our products arrive efficiently and sustainably. These efforts align with our broader goal to provide responsible sourcing and distribution solutions for our partners.

06. Zero-Waste Products

Reducing food waste is one of the most impactful steps we can take in the fight against climate change. That’s why we’ve designed our product range with efficiency in mind – our pre-portioned smoothies and shakes help you only use what you need, keeping unnecessary waste to a minimum.

On top of that, our frozen products arrive with extended shelf life, giving you flexibility and confidence when stocking up for your customers. With smart portioning and longer-lasting products, it’s easier for your cafe to cut down waste, manage costs, and contribute to a more sustainable food system.

Supply Chain & Partners

Our Supply chain partners invest in land and farmers, pickers and agronomists, in food scientists and chefs. We apply the very highest standards to guarantee traceability and food safety throughout our supply chain network – we are proud of the certifications we have achieved.

Our state-of-the-art, HACCP standard compliant production and packing facilities are also approved by numerous accreditation agencies including British Retail Consortium (BRC) and EFSIS.

All our Smoothies and Shakes are produced at BRC Grade A facilities, confirming that we have met the very specific requirements set by the British Retail Consortium for their standards of food safety. They are also members of Sedex; one of the world’s leading online platforms for companies to manage and improve working conditions in global supply chains.
