Certification for fair trade and responsible supply chains |
Impact, special achievements & commitments | In 2003 Eco teas won the Socially Responsible Business Award presented at Natural Products Expo East. They have built a playground from scratch in the rural town of San Ignacio de Savio, Argentina, where the yerba mate is grown. In 2012 Eco teas won the Responsible Packaging Award for the use of 100 % post-consumer recycled paperboard in tea bag packaging. In 2014, they were given an honorary membership in a Responsible Packaging Coalition founded by colleagues at Alter Eco and Numi Tea. | |||||||
