Angelus, among the committed brands 

Since its creation in 1978, Biofournil bakery With the L'Angelus brand, the bakery has set itself the goal of perpetuating the tradition of good organic sourdough bread. In the beginning, to avoid unsold baked bread, L'Angélus sold pre-packaged bread, which made life easier for Biofournil and its points of sale. But realizing that these generated a lot of waste, the bakery re-examined pre-packaged bread.

In April 2019, thanks to extensive research, L'Angélus had already succeeded in reducing the weight of the plastic film on its "Mes Pains à Dorer" bread range by 40%. More generally, Biofournil has committed to adopting the ISO 14000 waste management method. In terms of CSR, it has also been Bioentreprisedurable® certified since May 2018.

 

Catalyons Laboratory: A “zero waste” policy

For the Catalyons Laboratory, protecting the planet is a priority.

In order to reduce its ecological impact, a zero-waste policy has been implemented: Firstly, the products have no superfluous packaging in order to avoid unnecessary waste. Internally, the laboratory has more than exemplary consumption: 100% green electricity, reasonable water and heating consumption, the use of plant-based printer ink, etc.

Several resources are also recycled: water, which supplies the toilets, paper and cardboard, which are reused to send the next orders.

The Laboratory is also committed to protecting bees by sponsoring hives.
