Promoting a Sustainable Future
2BScientific strongly believes that finding ways to ensure that we, as a global society, live sustainably is a top priority in living in harmony on the planet. We are currently working on two main initiatives. Firstly, working towards utilising alternatives to Single Use Plastics and secondly to provide financial support to two very important Bee charities. 2BScientific will be looking at introducing related environmental initiatives in the coming years.
2BScientific's "Free from Single Use Plastic" Policy
2BScientific has taken the decision to be free of single use plastics and consequently, we have now changed all of our packaging to include recyclable jiffy bags, paper packing fillers, biodegradable self-sealed product bags, biodegradable bubble wrap, biodegradable bubble bags and biodegradable foam chips (recycled from suppliers).
2BScientific is now completely Carbon Neutral!!!
The Fight for the Honey and Bumble Bee
Here at 2BScientific we care about the bees and do as much as we can to help them. We regularly donate to the British Bee Keepers Association and help raise awareness about the disappearance of the bees through social media.
Honey bees & Bumble bees are disappearing globally at an alarming rate due to pesticides, parasites, and disease and habitat loss. If these little insects that help provide so much of the food we eat were to vanish, what would we do without them?
Well, we would not have the following:
Honey and Bumble bees play a pivotal role in our ecosystem as pollinators, and are essential in putting food on our tables. But, worryingly, the numbers of pollinators have been declining in recent years. The bee population in the UK alone has fallen between 10% and 15% over the last two years.
We are passionate about all bees (after all this is why we named our company 2BScientific) and this is why we contribute £1 for every order you as a customer places with us, to help with research funding by the British Bee Keepers Association into essential studies to help understand and reverse the bees decline. To date we have together raised over £15,000 to this great cause.
Bees For Development
As our ongoing support for Bees grows we are now going to be donating to the ‘Bees for Development’ (UK charity 1078803). Bees for development promote sustainable beekeeping to combat poverty and to build resilient livelihoods. They conserve and maintain the environment for people and for bees.
- Bees make honey
- Bees for Development train beekeepers
- Beekeepers make money
We look forward to supporting this wonderful UK based charity promoting beekeeping to combat poverty and to protect biodiversity is an excellent charity for 2BScientific Limited to support.
