Why Mill Story is Giving Plastic the Boot (And So Should You)

Let’s talk plastic packaging—it’s everywhere! From the rice in your pantry to your flour, it’s taken over our kitchens. But here’s the thing: plastic isn’t doing the planet (or us) any favors. That’s why Mill Story has kicked plastic to the curb. If you’re wondering why, here’s a quick rundown.

Plastic: The Guest That Never Leaves

Plastic is like that guest who overstays their welcome—except it never leaves. It sticks around in landfills and oceans for centuries, making a mess for wildlife and the environment. Plus, businesses in the UK and Europe are feeling the pinch with a plastic tax that targets packaging with less than 30% recycled content. We decided to ditch plastic for good, opting for reusable or compostable packaging that won’t haunt future generations.

It’s Not Just the Planet—It’s Your Health Too

Plastic can also be bad for your health. Chemicals like phthalates and BPA can leach into food, and research links them to serious health problems. No one signed up for that when buying lentils! That’s why we’re keeping your food pure, fresh, and free from those sneaky chemicals.

Fresh Food, Just Like the Old Days

Before plastic, food was local, fresh, and free of excess packaging. Mill Story is hitting rewind. We believe food should be processed and consumed locally, just like our ancestors did. This means less plastic, fresher staples, and stronger communities.

So, here’s the scoop: at Mill Story, we’re all in on the unpackaged movement because we believe in better food for you and the planet. Ready to join us?
