SUSTAINABILITY - old
Our products should make both the environment and you proud. We believe in being gentle on both the planet and you.
Our mission & vision
We at Aarja Health draw inspiration from nature and protect the environment we live in. Clean, green and renewable are some of the expressions that describe the requirements for us as a responsible manufacturer and supplier of dietary supplements. A job we take seriously through daily improvements throughout the value chain to limit our impact on the environment - without compromising the quality and safety of our products.
We care about Mother Earth.
We strive to take into account the potential environmental impact of our entire business. Aarja complies with the laws and regulations that regulate legal environmental responsibility, such as the Waste Act. We believe that our environmental responsibility includes factors that conserve natural resources and biodiversity, reduce emissions and waste, and that we continuously assess the risks and challenges of our business for the benefit of both people and the environment.
Striving for efficiency
Environmental issues are already reviewed in the planning phase of new products and are included from start to finish in the production itself. One of the most important things we do is choose sustainable suppliers who deliver clean and documented ingredients to us. We must understand the origin of our ingredients, and how the sustainability principle is taken care of. We also focus on using ingredients in the immediate vicinity of our factory to reduce carbon emissions. In this respect, we are very lucky in terms of our own Finnish factory. 65% of the Finnish forest is sustainably certified, and where we harvest our Nordic ingredients such as blueberries, lingonberries, sea buckthorn (sea buckthorn), chaga and pine bark.
Production management
Waste sorting is carried out in accordance with waste management guidelines. In addition to recyclable paper, cardboard, plastic and metal. An energy audit has been carried out and is being carried out on the company's property. The business shall, as far as possible, implement the measures recommended by the Energy Inspectorate.
Our packaging
We have chosen to use PET packaging in our packaging materials, which are produced through a thorough recycling process. The main reason for this is that waste reception facilities are built for reception and sorting. The life cycle begins with the collection, sorting and thorough cleaning of discarded PET containers. These containers then undergo a fragmentation process, breaking down into smaller pieces. These fragments are then melted and carefully reshaped, resulting in fresh PET products. The complex nature of this recycling procedure not only helps to minimize the environmental impact of plastic waste, but also contributes to the conservation of valuable resources. PET packaging is proof of the industry's commitment to circular economies, paving the way for a more sustainable future in packaging practices.
Labels
Our labels are made of 100% paper and the adhesive is rubber-based.
Boxes, paper, bags and blisters
All boxes are made of paper. Our paper is made from trees which are natural, renewable, sustainable and 100% recyclable. Our packaging bags consist of an aluminium foil with a matte finish. Aluminium can be recycled indefinitely and is 100% recyclable.
Shipping and delivery
All orders placed through Shopify are delivered in a brown cardboard box with brown paper padding. Other attachments, such as packing slips, are also made of paper. No plastic is used in shipping boxes, fillings, or inserts. Large shipping boxes are made of paper and do not contain plastic fillings. For deliveries to end customers from our warehouse, we use Bring, which has an overall environmental goal approved by SBTi (Science Based Target initiative) and is in line with the Paris Agreement.
