"Carbon neutral means that an activity releases net zero carbon emissions into the atmosphere. Carbon or Climate positive means that an activity goes beyond achieving net zero carbon emissions to actually create an environmental benefit by removing additional carbon dioxide from the atmosphere."

 

We aim to make our drinks and operate our business as best as we can whilst omitting the smallest amount of carbon in the process. In turn, we can then create as little, negative impact on the planet as possible.

 

Let’s put that in practice -  If you drive to the store to buy one of our ciders, our positive carbon emissions meet the carbon created from your drive - so together we are Carbon Neutral. Our mission is to make even that drive, a Carbon Positive experience, doing our little bit to save our big planet. 

 

To do this, we are actively trying to do the following and more. For example, we are limiting the amount of water used and wasted. We are reducing our use of and dependence on the power network, with an aim to move to self generated energy by 2030. 

How else are we doing this? We are becoming more sustainable in our production process and product development,  using techniques such as gravity racking instead of electric pumps where possible, producing drier ciders with less or no added sugars imported from across the world. Yes, drinking drier cider could really help our planet!

We are constantly looking at our packaging and working closely with our partners to find the best possible solutions, as well as reviewing how we get the products to you, whether that be through one of our amazing trade partners or direct from us. How can we make delivery more efficient and with a small as possible impact on our environment? We are always welcome to ideas from you!.

At Wobblegate Orchards, we hope that we can lead the way in our industry by not only going Carbon Neutral but with the help of our orchards, which act as massive ‘Carbon Sinks’, we aim to create that carbon deficit and be ‘Carbon Positive’. And hopefully we'll be able to plant some more trees too.

To help us achieve our goals, we have enlisted the professional help of Carbon Jacked - A team dedicated to the fight against Carbon and who share our ethos. Who better to get the support and guidance we need!

All of this is just the start, and it will continue to evolve. It goes to show how good for the planet Cider really is!

 

To help us on this journey, all you need to do is continue to support us, spread the word and buy our drinks ..... Thank you
