The Pure Option

The Pure Option without having a negative effect on the environment.

We are a company started with the lofty mission to help the world to say goodbye to nasty single use plastics and replace them with products full of plant based goodness. We wouldn’t call ourselves eco warriors, but we do think of ourselves as engaged corporate citizens and we were unhappy with the modern throw and forget lifestyle, so we created The Pure Option™ to solve issues that damage the en

vironment by providing solutions not barriers. We now have Europe’s largest range of compostable packaging products with over 300 products, all designed to replace single use plastic with a lot more in development. All our compostable products are made from plants, so they are a natural solution to an unnatural problem and because they come from plants they are designed to break down with 13 weeks into Earth friendly compost that benefits the environment it’s disposed of in, it’s completely circular as they come from plants and can be used to grow more plants, it’s a natural solution to an un-natural problem. We are a solution led business that looks at things differently, we don’t like barriers and we don’t believe people should change their lifestyles, we think like this. "​ I want convenience but it's you bad for the environment"​ so our way of looking at this is “let’s find a solution”, we just don’t believe the solution is about saying "no"​ to lifestyle and convenience but changing what we do and how we do it , if we liked business clichés we would say we “like to think outside the box” but we don’t like clichés so let’s not mention it. We are so good at solving environmental issues and providing products that are socially responsible, that we also advise other organisation to find solutions to their plastic problems and replace them with an environmentally positive solution, delivered in a socially responsible way. We want to help to change the world and we have a range of products that help us to achieve this lofty goal, but we do this by making modern life convenient, barrier free and socially responsible.

We’ve all been on the receiving end of a "Can you just quickly do this for me?" email... but few people have handled it quite like graphic designer David Thorne.

When asked to design a "Missing Cat" poster for a colleague, David gave a masterclass in brilliant internet trolling.

🌿 MEDELLÍN IS BEATING THE HEAT WITH NATURE! 🌳

While news channels are full of worries about rising urban temperatures, one city has shown the world how to cool down naturally! Welcome to Eco Facts #13, where we take a look at the incredible story of Medellín, Colombia!

Did you know that Medellín transformed its city streets into a sprawling network of 30 interconnected Green Corridors? 🤯

By planting 880,000 trees and over 2.5 million plants along roads, rivers, and public spaces, the city has successfully lowered its average urban temperature by 2°C—with shaded areas seeing temperature drops of up to 5°C! 🌡️📉

🌍 Why this matters:

Natural Urban Cooling: Shaded canopy and evapotranspiration tackle the "urban heat island effect" without energy-hungry air conditioning.

Cleaner Air & Healthier Citizens: The green corridors filter out air pollutants like PM2.5, significantly reducing respiratory illness rates.

Wildlife Returning: Birds, butterflies, and urban wildlife have returned to the city center, boosting local biodiversity.

Cost-Effective & Inclusive: The project created green maintenance jobs for local communities, providing a template for cities across the globe.

Concrete cities don't have to stay concrete jungles. Medellín proves that investing in nature brings massive rewards for climate resilience and community health! 🎉

How To Build a Sustainable Food Brand in the UK
UK food businesses—cafes, restaurants, caterers—face growing pressure to prove their sustainability credentials. Customers want evidence, not vague eco-claims. The challenge is building a sustainable brand without drifting into greenwashing.

What UK Customers Look For
British consumers easily spot inflated claims. They value:

Transparent sourcing and seasonal supply chains

Clear waste reduction and responsible packaging

Verified certifications and Scope 3 carbon transparency

Where Sustainability Begins
Real eco-credentials start in daily operations, not PR:

Sourcing: Partner with local suppliers and review welfare standards.

Operations: Upgrade equipment efficiency and monitor water usage.

Packaging & Carbon Tracking: Replace petroleum plastics with certified compostable alternatives. Use The Pure Option's Scope 3 Calculator to measure indirect emissions savings.

Physical Proof in Customers' Hands
Packaging is immediate proof of your values. The Pure Option supplies 100% plant-based, compostable food and drink packaging across the UK. With over 400 plastic-free products and an integrated Scope 3 Calculator on every product page at www.thepureoption.com, operators can track carbon reductions instantly. Backed by their “No Dead Dinos” guarantee and carbon-negative operations, they offer credible, certified packaging solutions.

Communicating Honestly
Avoid absolute language like "100% sustainable".

Share verifiable carbon savings data.

Use tools like Adobe Firefly to create consistent visual messaging.

Follow the CMA Green Claims Code to ensure accurate claims.

Sustainability is a systems decision. Let daily practices speak louder than slogans.

"Brian from Accounting is still sweating..." 😅📉

Our Warehouse Stock Clearance is still live, but stock levels are dropping fast!

To free up essential warehouse space, we’ve marked down a massive selection of sustainable packaging at cost or below cost. Yes, you read that right—we are taking a hit on margin so you can stock up on plant-based packaging for absolute rock-bottom prices.

Whether you run a cafe, bakery, takeaway, or fulfillment center, this is your chance to chop your overheads while keeping your commitment to zero-plastic packaging.

⚠️ Fair warning: Once these specific pallets are cleared, these prices go back to normal. First come, first served!
