Dropped meat and fish

Our first radical transformation was to drop meat and fish in 2017. Like many others on the plant based journey, our founder Paul was hit with his Cowspiracy epiphany. After seeing the documentary and reading books like The Food Revolution, he started to release what we eat is the single biggest environmental decision we face every day.

Removed dairy from products

This was followed by the decision to drop dairy from our products in the summer of 2018. By removing dairy from our products, we have been saving 7 million litres of water, 194 tonnes of CO2 emissions and 91 thousand square meters of farmland every year.

Made packaging recyclable

We have selected, designed and re-designed our packaging to be recyclable, microwaveable and dishwasher safe, free of BPA and more – all to avoid the pitfalls of single-use plastic and to provide an item that is fully up-cyclable as well as recyclable. We have reduced the amount of plastic we use by light weighting the packaging of some of our product range, switching our Salad Jars plastic lids to aluminum ones and have now replaced our forks with a wooden and biodegradable option, saving over 22 tonnes of plastic a year.

Used bagasse and plastic-free packs

We are constantly on the look-out for sustainable and innovative alternatives such as bagasse, a material made from the offcuts of sugarcane that would otherwise go to waste, which we currently use for our Dinner Boxes, and we have developed our first 100% plastic free packaging with our Power Shakes.

Donated profit and meals

Social responsibility has been at the core of the business since the very start, where we donated our first year’s profit to Action Against Hunger, which helped screen and assist 13,000 people affected by malnutrition in the Rajastan region of India. Throughout the years, we have partnered with many charities and donated thousands of meals to soup kitchens and homeless shelters across the country. And whilst Covid-19 had a huge impact on our business and sales, we continued our mission and managed to donate over 20,000 meals to the NHS to support them in their amazing work.

Launched BOL forest

We launched the BOL forest just over a year ago with the objective to offset all of Team BOL’s personal and professional carbon footprint each year. We are growing trees that will last over a century and we cannot wait to watch it flourish over time.
