Both Tako and me are scuba Divers, Dive Masters in fact. Personally I've been diving for over 17 years and I've sadly experienced the increase in the amount of plastics AND the decrease of the amount of fish in our oceans. We simply have to our part to stop this.  We all know our planet is our only resource, there is no PLANet B. 

How could we explain ourselves building a successful, profitable business, but ruining our environment in the meantime? We all share this responsibility.

Even as small as we are, we manage to use sustainable packaging materials. Because you, our consumers, can only change so much as what is available to you. When you try to avoid the use of single-use plastics in your daily life, you will find yourself constrained by what corporations &manufacturers are offering. 

Yes, we're looking at Nestle, Unilever, Mars and all other big corporations, we're calling on them to improve their business practices. If they would care a little more for our planet, they could spend more money on R&D for sustainable materials. THEY can make things like bio degradable packaging and post-consumer recycled materials mainstream and therefore available and affordable for everyone, to give YOU, as the consumer, better and easier choices!

• All of our products are 100% plant based and vegan with our gluten-free stroopwafel being the only exception.
• All of our products are made with organic ingredients. 
• We use backyard compostable cellophane for our 8-packs.
• There are two stroopwafels per package (instead of singles) so you can share with a friend and prevent an extra piece of waste.
• Our cartons are 100% post-consumer recycled so no trees are ever harmed in the process.
• We use certified sustainably sourced palm oil and our Dutch government was involved in the certification process.
• Our chocolate stroopwafel includes only Fair Trade cacao powder.
• All of our ingredients are non-GMO.
• We keep the supply chains as short as possible to minimize our carbon footprint.
• Our household has adopted a vegan, almost plastic-free lifestyle.
• All B2C shipments are shipped carbon neutral.

Our stroopwafels are dairy-free because we don't feel it's necessary to make use of the already strained massive dairy industry. (Why are animals referred to as “an industry” anyway?) However, lots of other dairy-free products contain destructive palm oil. Although the cows on American soil may be more at peace in this regard, the orangutans’ palm-rich territory in southeast Asia is being destroyed. Therefore, we are committed to using palm oil that is highly ethically sourced from small, independent farms in Colombia, and the palm oil that we use goes directly from the farm to the bakery.
