ECOLOGY & FOOD USE

We have chosen to design ecological packaging. The paper we have selected is Ensocoat™️. It is a material based on recycled fibers from sustainably managed forests, the manufacturing is powered by bio-energies. Our paper is treated without chlorine and our inks are vegetable. Our partner workshop is Imprim Vert certified. This means that it meets the following specifications:

  • the proper disposal of toxic waste if there is (rags, inks, solvents, etc.)
  • securing the storage of liquids to avoid possible pollution in the ground or in the air
  • non-use of toxic products for employees
  • monitoring and controlling energy consumption
  • and environmental awareness of its stakeholders

Our finishing acrylic varnish is biodegradable, which allows our boxes to be totally RECYCLABLE .

Our partner also respects RSE. Corporate social responsibility is defined by the European Commission as the voluntary integration of social and environmental concerns into their business activities and relationships. Concretely, RSE is the contribution of companies to the challenges of sustainable development.

In line with our commitment to ecological paper and a manufacturing process developed with the utmost respect for sustainable development, we have chosen to work with vegetable-based inks.

These inks are obtained by mixing organic compounds derived from plants, such as oils and resins of natural origin, which do not contain hydrocarbons in their solvents. Our inks are therefore harmless. Our acrylic varnishes are biodegradable.

Absolutely, our boxes are perfect for transporting and enhancing pastries, for example. In fact, pastry chefs were our first partners when Boîte Cocotte was launched. Our paper is chlorine-free, our inks are vegetable-based and our varnishes are acrylic.
