Why do you pack in plastic?
PET has a lower carbon footprint and energy consumption than glass. PET production is more efficient, uses less energy, and allows for domestic manufacturing, reducing transport emissions.
The material is lightweight, making it more environmentally friendly for long distance shipping compared to heavy glass jars. Although glass can be beneficial in reuse systems, these are limited in most markets.
PET is an extremely safe plastic, which are free from harmful chemicals like BPA and PFAS
Isn't honey acidic, shouldn't it be packed in glass?
Why do you pack in tinted jars?
Light can degrade honey over time, causing it to lose some of its flavour, aroma, and nutritional value. This process is primarily due to the interaction of light with certain compounds within the honey.
Here are the main ways light can degrade honey:
- Photo-oxidation:
- Colour Fading:
- Loss of Aroma Compounds:
To preserve the quality of honey, it's best to store it in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight.
Tinted containers such as our jars can help protect the honey from light exposure.
Does PET contain BPA, BPS or PFASs?
Wonder Honey PET jars do not contain
- BPA (Bisphenol A)
- BPS (Bisphenol S)
- Phthalates
- Plasticisiers
- PFAS
These elements are not (and never have been) used during the manufacturing of PET
BPAs and BPS is commonly found in PVC and Polycarbonate i.e. plastic numbers 3 & 5. It is also found in the plastic liners of some tinned foods
Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFASs) are used to prevent stains and sticking of certain materials and have been found in products with Teflon, Nylon and cosmetics.
