One cup of Lyons helps make a big difference. By switching to biodegradable tea bags, together we can reduce the amount of plastic used by 6 tonnes annually*– That’s the weight of an elephant!
Lyon’s has been committed to finding more ways to make a more environmentally friendly cup of tea. All of the delicious leaves used in blending Lyons Tea are 100% sustainably sourced & Rainforest Alliance CertifiedTM and now, Lyon’s has become the first major tea brand to make the switch to be 100% biodegradable.
Lyons has completed the switch to biodegradable tea bags across their entire range of foodservice packs
The plant-based tea bags are derived from corn starch and can be disposed of in a food waste bin to biodegrade back to nature.
Products
We’ve spent several years developing 100% biodegradable tea bags and are now the first major tea brand** to feature them in all packs.
Sustainability
At Lyons Tea we are committed to ensuring decent working conditions for all our farmers while protecting the environment in the tea gardens.
