Sustainability
HelloFresh uses specially designed packaging to ensure your food arrives fresh and safe every time.
Also, by sourcing many of our ingredients directly from suppliers and delivering the produce to you without any detours, we remove steps from the traditional supply chain. This shorter supply chain means we avoid packaging and repackaging along the way. Plus, we use pre-portioned ingredients for our recipes, which means you also avoid food waste. As a result, your HelloFresh meals create 25%* fewer carbon emissions than the same meals made from supermarket ingredients. Learn more about our Life Cycle Assessment Study.
We are continuously looking to optimise and innovate with quality and sustainability in mind.
Each week, we are identifying the recipes on our menu that have the lowest carbon impact on the environment. We know our customers are looking to make everyday sustainable food choices; and now with the new Climate Superstar recipe tag, our customers will be informed of the recipes with the lowest carbon impact in their weekly menu, making conscious informed choices easy! Look out for the new ‘Climate Superstar’ recipe tags on the HelloFresh menu each week and add them to your box.

When comparing the environmental impact of recipes, we use the measure of “CO2 equivalent” (CO2e). This includes all the greenhouse gases that are emitted into the atmosphere during the production and processing of ingredients. This includes methane and nitrous oxide, not just CO2. CO2e is therefore a more accurate representation of the climate impact of a recipe than just a measure of CO2 emissions
HelloFresh has partnered with HowGood; the world’s largest database for product and ingredient sustainability. HowGood calculates the CO2e impact of the ingredients based on the individual amounts of ingredients.
Using HowGood Data sets, we calculate the emissions per serving, based on the individual amounts of ingredients for each HelloFresh recipe - including Agricultural Production and Food Processing emission data. From here we select all the recipes that meet our requirements of being 50% lower than our 2022 recipe emissions average. These are our Climate Superstar recipes.
By sourcing many of our ingredients directly from local suppliers we remove steps from the traditional supply chain. This saves carbon emissions by cutting back on transport time and extra storage. In fact, our Life Cycle Analysis has shown that HelloFresh meals create 15% fewer carbon emissions than the same meals made from supermarket ingredients. If you’re looking for recipes with the lowest carbon emissions on our menu each week, keep an eye out for the “Climate Superstar” tag.
We are continuously innovating to find more sustainable options or to remove packaging altogether. The good news is that a lot of the packaging from your box (including the box itself!) can be recycled. Head on over to our packaging page to find out more.
Your ingredients arrive in a barrier coated paper bags with a thin inner lining, to keep your produce fresher for longer. They are designed to go in your fridge, and reduce outside moisture from spoiling your ingredients. Goodbye soft carrots!
The best part? They're 100% recyclable.
