Plastic is an extraordinary substance when used for the right applications. Due to its resilient properties however, single use is not always the best way to use plastic.   

It is important that we can offer choices that are relevant to today’s market, while enabling our customers to provide their customers with a wide range of options to suit all needs.

This includes the introduction of our CPLA cutlery range. CPLA stands for Polylactide Aliphatic Copolymer. A very long word that basically means the range is made from corn starch and is both compostable and biodegradable.

This competitively priced product is made from high quality material  and features a ‘100% compostable’ message to let users know how to dispose of the products correctly.

Demand is continuing to grow across all product ranges for sustainable options. By introducing cutlery, we are reaching out to new customers, while providing existing customers with the choice that will enable them to treat us as a one-stop shop.

Whether you a are taking a tea break to break-up the day, out of habit or simply to quench a thirst, a great British cuppa is still a necessity for most in getting through the 9-5. But is the tea break a dying ritual?

Whilst it is proven that taking a tea break can have a benefit to both employees and businesses alike with proven results in increasing productivity, our current work ethics and cultures are proving all too tempting to skip breaks altogether with 1 in 5 people saying they take fewer tea breaks now than they did a year ago!

This can be further supported by a recent study by total jobs. According to research,68% of the 7,135 surveyed justified skipping breaks including lunch saying, ‘they had too much to do or an unexpected task to handle.’

With workplaces now being more flexible, more people are not office based and are being less exposed to professional behaviour and office habits.

Are you encouraging your staff to have a tea break?

We supply a range of Tetley teas through the Thirstybox website. If you are looking to offer your staff something different during their tea breaks, the Tetley Fruit & Herb Variety Starter Pack is a great place to start.
