Our Sustainability Ethos
Sustainability is at the core of our business. Simply put, we love the sea and want to protect it.
We're proud members of 1% FOR THE PLANET and have pledged to give back 1% of all sales, not profits, to environmental causes.
Furthermore, our dispatch packaging is entirely plastic-free, utilising Flexi-hex, a recyclable, biodegradable, and natural paper product, ensuring that our cocktails reach our customers without harming the environment. Similarly, our product packaging eschews plastic, featuring British-made glass bottles, FSC-certified wooden bottle tops, sugar cane fibre labels, and biodegradable tamper seals made from wood pulp.
Our efforts have been recognised with the Plastic Free Business status by Surfers Against Sewage, a testament to our commitment to eliminating plastic waste. At events and tastings, we continue our eco-friendly practices by using biodegradable paper cups and avoiding straws, further reducing our environmental footprint.
In our production process, we prioritise sustainability by receiving our spirits in large, reusable containers, minimising waste. Our selection of spirit partners is based not only on the exceptional quality of their spirits but also on their sustainability practices. For instance, Salcombe Gin, with its initiatives supporting ocean conservation, and Two Drifters Rum, renowned as the world's first carbon-negative rum distillery, align with our values of environmental responsibility.
By choosing Bar Buoy Cocktails, our customers enjoy not only a taste of Devon's finest but also support a brand committed to making a difference in the world, championing sustainability, and fostering a healthier planet for future generations.
