HappyMaz Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 I just got an email from our recycling scheme about an initiative by the people at Ella's Kitchen to recycle their snack pouches and other packaging once children have eaten the contents. You can send back the pouches to them free of charge and they'll donate 2p per pouch to your setting. You can find the website here but turn the sound off. If you're on the page for any length of time you might find the buzzing bee a bit irritating! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Hmmm. I would say this is not that eco as it encourages people to use the pouches and not to cook fresh for the children with much less packaging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyMaz Posted September 27, 2011 Author Share Posted September 27, 2011 Well that's an interesting point of view lolo. Leaving aside the judgement call you are making about the benefits of cooking from fresh for your children or using pre-prepared baby foods, I'm not sure I would be encouraged to stop cooking for my children and start to use this product instead because of this recycling scheme. However I would feel reassured that the babyfood manufacturer I had chosen to use was doing its bit to recycle packaging. And if I could raise a few pennies for my child's school or early years setting, I'd consider that as a bonus. We all have these decisions to make in the context of our experiences, personal beliefs and our own circumstances, don't we? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
