Our Impact

Emily's Lollies sustainabilityAt Emily's Lollies we want to build a business that treats people and the planet well. Many of our choices started at home, where we've worked hard to cut down on waste and plastic and to support small businesses. We carry the same approach into the business, because we believe you should be able to have beautiful things without damaging the environment.

Packaging

  • We don't use plastic in our packaging, and it is all recyclable or compostable wherever possible.
  • Your order is packed with a mix of tissue paper, biodegradable packing peanuts and reused brown paper.
  • We only use FSC certified products.
  • Stickers are recyclable and our packaging tape is paper-based.
  • Invoices are emailed instead of printed.
  • Our lollipop sticks are plastic-free paper.
  • The only plastic is the lollipop wrapper, which can be recycled with soft plastics at large supermarkets. We'll move away from it when we find a material that keeps the lollies fresh.

Less waste

We sell seconds, lollies that are perfectly tasty but don't meet our standards for appearance, so they aren't thrown away.

Supporting small businesses

We buy from UK suppliers and other small businesses wherever we can, and encourage them to reduce their own packaging.

Our team

We pay the real Living Wage and offer flexible working for our staff.
