It’s Earth Month, Folks and Gnarly is here to share how we’re committed to not just talkin’ the talk but walkin' the walk. Picture this: you're blending up your favorite protein shake after a workout sesh, feeling that post-sweat glow. But have you ever stopped to think about the impact your go-to nutrition brand has on Mother Earth? Gnarly is a brand that's not only committed to fueling your adventures but also passionate about treading lightly on our planet.
First up, let's talk packaging. We take the "reduce, reuse, recycle" mantra to heart by using recyclable materials for our product packaging. What we’re most proud of? That would be our steel cans that are recycled at a rate of 71%! Compared to the measly 5% that plastic is recycled at we’d say it’s a huge step for the sports nutrition industry. Using steel cans means fewer plastic woes and more love for our oceans and landfills. Plus, our commitment to minimizing waste doesn't stop there. We’re constantly exploring innovative ways to make our packaging even more eco-friendly, because let's be real – nobody wants to see our planet drowning in plastic.
Our latest initiative is one that’s going to take some team participation and understanding. One that might make you ask “where’s the scoop?!” the next time you crack open a can or peel open a pouch. As you may have guessed, we’re ditching our little plastic measuring scoops from all products. Don’t worry just yet! This rollout will be slow and steady starting with our Hydrate line in May and making its way through the rest of the lineup over the course of the next year, so you’ll have plenty of time to save your scoops and reuse them! We’ll also provide kitchen equivalents on all packaging to help lessen the burden of scoop-less packaging. We hope you understand the impact will greatly benefit the planet while only inconveniencing you slightly.
What's probably the most rad about our sustainability efforts is our commitment to transparency. We’re not just slapping on a green label and calling it a day. Nope, we’re laying it all out on the table, from our sourcing practices to our carbon reduction goals. That means you can trust that when you choose Gnarly, you're choosing a brand that walks the talk.
So, there you have it, folks – We aren't just another nutrition brand; we’re a force for good in the world. Whether you're crushing it at the gym, hitting the trails, or simply fueling your everyday adventures, you can feel good about the impact you're making on our planet. So go ahead, sip on sustainability, and let's make this world a gnarlier place together!
