March 18 is World Recycling Day ♻. On this occasion when everyone is called upon to make an extra gesture for the planet, we wanted to show you to what extent you are preserving the environment by shopping at Quai Sud. Recycle, reuse, reduce, we know that! Proof in 5 points that we help you keep the planet clean 🌍.

1. Sustainable and reusable packaging

At Quai Sud, our specialty is packaging. But not just any: beautiful, durable and solid! 💪 Beautifully decorated, our packaging is as useful as it is decorative. Their unique look makes our products original gifts. Their plus? They are recyclable !

We use metal boxes to package our teas, coffees and cocoas. Our cocktail mixes and alcohols are packaged in recycled glass bottles, sealed with cork or metal stoppers. Our packaging gift boxes are made of cardboard. Plastic? Still a tiny bit to package some mixes, but it is recycled, recyclable and biodegradable. Objective: zero plastic!

How beautiful and strong they are, our packaging is also reusable. Rattling decorative trinkets, pencil holders or for children's toys... As Grandma would say: an empty Quai Sud box can always be useful! 👵 In short, our packaging always has a second life.

2. We love being loose!

You kept the box of your delicious hazelnut flavored coffee ? Great, you will be able to fill it again with your favorite mixture thanks to our bulk products!

At Quai Sud, the bulk, it’s a hit! Spices, cocoa, tea… you love them. Well protected in their kraft packaging or in beautiful natural rabanes, your favorite Quai Sud products are available in 200g or one kilo format. It also allows us to offer you top quality products, such as coffee beans or delicious tea blends.

Result:

  • No overpackaging and more product in a single delivery,
  • A third less waste in your bins,
  • About 35% savings compared to a packaged product !

You like it, the planet likes it too, so we haven't finished offering you some 😉.

3. Less CO₂ by producing French 🐓

Recycling, using less packaging to produce less waste is good for the planet, but reducing CO₂ emissions is better!

At Quai Sud, we found the solution long before we started talking about carbon footprint. Since our beginnings in 1996, our products have been made in France in the Var so that there are fewer kilometers between us and your plate 🍽.

It also allows us to create jobs and maintain quality craftsmanship, for example with our Confi'Love cooked in a copper cauldron in our workshops.

Our range the Grocery Store of Provence also promotes local products: Camargue flower of salt, organic rosemary syrup, crystallized violets and mimosa... Producing in France gives a good carbon footprint and sunny packages that sing like cicadas!

4. Cocoa: a committed partner for the planet ✊

Well, we're not going to lie, we don't grow cocoa trees in mainland France, and we really hope that that won't happen with global warming. But failing to reduce our CO₂ emissions from the transport of these delicious raw materials, we are acting at the source to compensate for our impact on the planet.

Take the example of our cocoa. In Latin America, our partner cultivates organic cocoa respecting nature according to the principles of agroforestry. In short: no deforestation, cocoa trees grow under the shelter of trees with other plants to provide naturally fertile land without fertilizer. And more trees means more CO₂ absorption 🌳. A virtuous circle that makes you want Quai Sud hot chocolate every day ☕.

5. A socially responsible economy

Committing to the planet also means taking care of the men and women who provide us with raw materials. Growing cocoa or coffee in agroforestry is good for the planet, but it must also offer local populations a concrete alternative to activities linked to deforestation or drug trafficking.

By choosing a fair producer, everyone wins: a stable job and fair remuneration for employees, educational programs for their families, a growing local economy... In France, Quai Sud also wins with quality raw materials, local jobs and preserved artisanal know-how. It sounds a little Care Bear to say that, but it works! 🧸

So don't forget: every time you bite into Quai Sud chocolate or drink one of our delicious coffees, you contribute to protecting the environment, and even a little to changing the world 🙌… And remember to recycle our packaging 😉
