Earth Friendly Packaging – For a Better Tomorrow

Empathy Herbal: A Green Path to Better Health and a Healthier Planet

In an era marked by unprecedented global challenges, the Earth faces pressing environmental issues that demand urgent attention and collective action.

 

Climate Change

Why Choose Earth Friendly Packaging?

  1. Climate Change: Human-induced climate change, primarily driven by the emission of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide (CO2) from activities such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation, was considered one of the most critical environmental challenges. It leads to rising global temperatures, extreme weather events, sea-level rise, and disruptions to ecosystems.
  2. Biodiversity Loss: The loss of biodiversity due to habitat destruction, deforestation, overfishing, pollution, and invasive species was another significant concern. This loss of species and ecosystems affects ecosystem services, disrupts food chains, and diminishes the overall health and resilience of the planet’s ecosystems.
  3. Pollution: Pollution in various forms, including air pollution, water pollution, and soil contamination, remains a pervasive environmental problem. It poses risks to human health, ecosystems, and wildlife. Common sources of pollution include industrial emissions, agricultural runoff, and the proliferation of plastic waste.

The choices we make today, both as individuals, businesses and as a society, have a big impact on the Earth’s health and the well-being of future generations. We all share this beautiful planet, so it’s our job to use & support sustainable products & practices where possible.

The Evolution of Our Earth Friendly Packaging

When Empathy® started, there were fewer earth-friendly packaging options than there are todayOur business has evolved from being a simple online shop for delicious herbs & spices to becoming a wellness hub for health & well-being. Our packaging has changed as well.  Every year, we’ve upgraded our earth friendly packaging, being more focused on sustainability for a better tomorrow.

At the beginning of 2025, we introduced glass jars for our capsules range. This followed our move at the end of 2022, when we upgraded from recycled plastic to glass jars for our black garlic range. Premium glass jars reflect the quality of the products inside and our care for the planet. They’re ideal for preserving the potent health benefits, fragrance, and flavour of Bg®. Glass is also a fantastic earth-friendly choice – giving you the option to reuse, repurpose, or recycle.
