Ora Organic’s Sustainability Plans for Earth Day 2022

Ora Organic supplements contain plant-based ingredients from organic farms that use sustainable practices. And they continually strive to do better. On Earth Day 2022 they made a public commitment to make their packaging more sustainable by 2024 in order to safeguard the planet.

Ora Organic’s Sustainability Plans for 2022-2024

They are now turning their attention to their packaging and on Earth Day 2022 they publicly announced some ambitious commitments to switch to sustainable packaging solutions over the next two years.

Eliminate Their Use of Plastic Bottles by 2024

More than half of their supplements are contained in glass bottles, but they have struggled to find packaging options for their larger products that are both sustainable and also meet their moisture-resistant needs.

New cutting-edge technology is now available that creates compostable packaging. While Ora Organic is excited about this development, they are determined to do their own quality and safety checks to ensure the new packaging options will keep their products moisture-free and protected from contamination for their entire shelf life.

They envision this testing phase will take 1-2 years to complete and commit to eliminating their use of plastic bottles by 2024.

Reduce Their Use of Plastic in 2022

They plan to start making changes right away in 2022:

• 100% recyclable bags for their powders instead of plastic tubs.
• New desiccants made from natural clay in plastic-free and biodegradable packages.

Reduce Their Use of Plastic in 2023

The rollout will continue the following year:

• Plastic-free scoops for their powder products.
• Plastic lids will be replaced with aluminium.
• Subscription refills will be despatched in compostable packaging to be decanted into reusable containers.
• Begin launching products in compostable packaging on a product-by-product basis.

3 Healthy Product Switches You Can Make That Protect the Earth

Animal agriculture places a huge strain on the environment and the fishing industry is destroying our oceans.

Ora Organic suggests making three nutritional supplement changes to reduce your impact on the Earth.

Switch From Whey to Plant-Based Protein

The dairy industry takes a toll on the planet and causes immense suffering to cows and their calves. Consuming dairy products leads to an increase of IGF-1 and has been linked to prostate and breast cancer.

Ora Organic plant-powered So Lean So Clean protein powder delivers a complete amino acid profile. Every shake contains two servings of organic greens plus 19 organic superfoods including monk fruit, acai, blueberry, pea protein, sprouted quinoa and sancha inchi, adding crucial macro and micronutrients for proper cognitive and muscle function.

Switch From Collagen to a Collagen-Booster

Regular collagen supplements are made from the skin and connective tissues of cows or fish. However, merely consuming another animal’s collagen does not provide your body with the right amino acids, vitamins, polysaccharides, and nutrients it needs to create collagen that will affect your own joints and skin.

Ora Organic’s Aloe Gorgeous is an organic and plant-based collagen-boosting powder containing 3g of organic pea protein per serving which is naturally high in Lysine — an essential amino acid used in the creation of collagen — plus aloe vera, silica, and vitamins C and E.

Switch From Fish Oil to a Plant-Based Omega-3

Fish do not produce Omega-3, they get it from plants. Not only does fishing have a devastating effect on the oceans and sea creatures, but many fish species also contain high levels of mercury and fish oil supplements tend to contain filler ingredients, preservatives, or thickeners like carrageenan, which may contribute to inflammation and bloating. So, it is far healthier for us to also get our Omega-3 directly from plants.

Ora Organic’s Head & Heart DHA supplement is sourced from Schizochytrium algae which is cultivated sustainably in an enclosed system to ensure minimal impact on the marine ecosystem.

Head & Heart has no fillers, no carrageenan, nor artificial ingredients and contains the purest, most bioavailable source of DHA.
