The idea is simple enough: Save water. Save the environment. We’re careful to minimize our water consumption and we also balance all the water used in our manufacturing facilities to make all our products, restoring it back to nature. We support water restoration efforts across the country, including a groundwater recharge program in drought-stricken California (where our almonds grow!) and Change the Course, an organization working to preserve the ecological health of the Colorado River basin.
Sustainability
FROM THE GROUND UP
When it comes to good food or a good planet, we don’t think it should be a choice. On top of great taste, every Silk product pays it back to the earth with water conservation initiatives, is wrapped in sustainable packaging and are Non-GMO certified- plus we help our pollinator friends keep buzzing. Our beverages have significantly lower carbon footprint than Canadian dairy milk1. Go ahead, indulge yourself and the planet too!
1 From ISO 14040/44/46 independently reviewed 2021 Life Cycle Assessment based on 2018 product data comparing cradle-to-grave footprint of one half-gallon consumed of average Silk plant-based beverage to Canadian conventional dairy milk. Average Silk footprint from weighted 2021 production of all Silk conventional half gallon beverages distributed in Canada, including 2022 forecast of Silk Nextmilk and excluding almond-coconut blend.
Water conservation
EVERY DROP MATTERS
Recycling
PACKAGED FOR GOOD
Planet lovers, did you know Silk Gable top containers are made from plants and 100% recyclable plastic to ensure freshness? We use carton that comes from responsibly managed forests that provide environmental, social and economic benefits. There’s no need to feel empty when you finish a Silk carton. In fact, you can give it a second life by recycling it! Silk’s cartons, creamer bottles and cups for yogurt style are fully recyclable. Our packaging comes with easy-peasy How2Recycle instructions on it because our packaging was made for the planet – not the landfill. For more, visit how2recycle.info.
Our promise
HONEST TO GOODNESS
For more than 15 years, we’ve brought you simply delicious food. And the philosophy behind it is simple, too: Start with ingredients that are grown responsibly, and keep them as close to nature as we can. Today more than ever, we want you to know exactly what that means.
About us
GIVING OXYGEN BACK
Time to clear the air. Everyone has a footprint, even plant-based pioneers. Like all food production practices – farming, manufacturing, storage and distribution – the production of Silk generates some degree of greenhouse gas emissions. We’re not perfect and we know it. That’s why we’re constantly working on improving our distribution logistics and sourcing to limit our impact.
As part of our commitment to improvement, we’re proud to support ALUS Canada’s New Acre Project, a Canadian initiative that’s dedicated to giving oxygen back. Through New Acre Project, Silk invests in nature-based solutions to enhance Canadian community wetlands, improve riparian buffer zones and expand wildlife habitats to produce cleaner air, cleaner water and more biodiversity. Let’s do this!
