A huge thank you to our third Plastic Free Business Champion folks

Boo’s Kitchen are paving the way for single-use plastic free workplaces!



From the larger items like paper bags, reusable or paper straws, glass bottles of water (no plastic ones here!), recycled paper menus and natural ink for their branding, to right down to the smallest of details, like glass jars for jams and honey, Boo’s are always striving to do more when it comes to reducing their waste and footprint!

Similar to our other champions, our team will be working with Boo’s in the future to help them on that journey!

But for now - a big thank you to another awesome trader who puts sustainability at the core of what they do!

Congratulations to our next business champions The Touring Tea Room.

We haven’t worked with the wonderful ladies at The Touring Tea Room for long and already they have implemented so many invaluable changes into their workplace!

From cardboard takeaways, reusable stirrers (e.g., metal spoons - why use new wooden ones when we already have utensils made for the job!!) to installing a new milk pergal machine to reduce single-use plastic cartons and completely cutting out cling film altogether. The Touring Tea Room are leading the way for on-the-go Plastic Free businesses.

The Touring Tea Room show us that there are so many simple but important steps you can make, regardless of your business type, size or location. We’re very happy to continue working with The Touring Tea Room and make sure you stop by for delicious cakes when you’re in Clyne!
