Sustainability can seem overwhelming for founders at first, but there are a few fundamental topics that we have set as important for us in the early phase of our start-up. The focus is on the contribution we make to people with our products. Here are our initial approaches:
Water Lily Pops: What influence does the cultivation of the plant have?
The prickly water lily grows naturally in water bodies created for this purpose. You can think of it as being similar to growing rice. The best thing about it? They don't need any additional water to grow. The monsoon rain largely fills the plots with fresh water. Sowing and harvesting the spiny water lily seeds is still traditionally done by hand by the farmers using a landing net. The further steps until the seeds pop up are also manual.
Water Lily Pops: The further processing of the pops
Why are they processed into a packaged snack in India? The people there have decades of experience in handling natural products such as the popped seeds of the prickly water lily. It is important to us to place the processing in the hands of experienced teams. Of course, we make sure that our partner company is certified according to European standards. We also feel deeply connected to the country and want to make a contribution to the Indian communities.
Water Lily Pops: Why is the snack sustainable for humans?
The popped seeds of the spiked water lily have a balanced nutritional profile. As a raw product, the pops contain no fat or sugar and are rich in fiber and essential amino acids. Our Water Lily Pops are refined with 100% natural ingredients. We want to offer a healthy family snack and therefore do not use any preservatives or flavorings. The Water Lily Pops are a purely natural product and are only minimally processed by gentle roasting with olive oil and then packaged directly.
What about delivery and shipping?
Our packaged products are only shipped by sea, whereby we always use the container to its maximum capacity in order to minimize our carbon footprint. We use DHL GoGreen for shipments to our B2C customers in Germany and Europe and combine shipments for B2B customers and retailers via existing forwarding networks.
Sustainability is a continuous process. It goes without saying that we are constantly working to make the entire value chain more sustainable and transparent for our customers and consumers.
