Why choosing Poe-tree is beneficial for the environment
How our actions help in protecting and preserving our environment
We do not use fertilisers and/or pesticides thus reducing harmful chemicals that may pollute our soil, air and water.
- Land: We protect the soil from erosion by keeping our field covered with other plants.
- Water: We let nature take care of watering our trees. Apart from the rainfall we do not water the olive trees.
- Air: We do not burn the olive branches that result from pruning. Instead we shred them and distribute them in our field to nourish the soil.
- Energy: The olives are picked by hand.
- Olive Oil waste and energy efficiency:We produce our olive oil in a 2-stage mill which produces smaller quantities of waste and is more energy efficient.
- Packaging:
- We use recyclable materials for our packaging. The paper used in our packaging is FSC certified.
- We take responsibility for the disposal of our packaging. We have joined an Extended Producer Responsibility program to pay for the recycling cost of all our packaging material.
