Conscious Sourcing
Here at Kinetic Kitchen, we pride ourselves on creating our delicious, nutritious donuts using only the best and highest quality ingredients. It’s important to us that our donuts not only taste good, but actually do good for you - who says sweet treats can’t be healthy? We’re proud that:
🍩 100% of our fresh produce comes from organic farmers. Why is organic so important? No artificial fertilisers + no GMOs + livestock that aren’t given any growth hormones + supporting diverse farms = good for you food (read more about why to eat organic on the Soil Association website)
🍩 We support local independent farmers and suppliers by sourcing fresh produce from within forty miles of our HQ. By buying from local businesses, not only are we supporting the local economy but we’re also reducing our carbon emissions (for more info on our suppliers, check out this infograph)
Conscious Packaging
It’s no secret that there’s a plastic problem, particularly in the UK - it’s estimated that the UK uses 5 million tonnes of plastic per year, or 99kg of plastic waste produced per person per year (source and source). It’s not enough to create delicious donuts if it comes in horrible single-use plastic that contributes to the problem, so we’re committed to reducing our environmental impact by using:
🍩 zero plastic
🍩 100% recyclable packaging
🍩 Seeded hand tags to plant inside bottles
Conscious Giving
Kinetic Kitchen started with a 2,800 mile charity cycle (read more about our story here) and that ethos of giving back and helping others is still at the heart of what we do. We’re a company that continuously strives to give back wherever and however we can, and we’re proud that:
🍩 1% of all sales go to 1% for the planet. This means that at the end of each financial year we donate 1% of our profits to Surfers Against Sewage - a national marine conservation and campaigning charity. Eating donuts and helping the environment? Sounds pretty sweet!
