Over the past few years, the Blue Planet effect has highlighted problem plastics across the globe. Under the UK Plastics Pact, as of June , it will become a legal requirement for us to remove plastic straws from all of our products, including our Sukie cartons.
Pact members must eliminate problematic plastics from products to reduce the total amount of packaging on supermarket shelves. As part of our commitment to sustainability, we aim to replace all plastic straws within our business with paper straws by April , ahead of legislation coming into force in June You will find plastic straws disappearing from all conscientious brands in the same time period. By changing the straws on our Sukie range from plastic to new paper straws, we will be able to eliminate a total of 2 tonnes of plastic per year.
Did you know that 2 tonnes is equal to the weight of 3 dairy cows, and we are happy to be doing our bit. We have also updated our on-pack recycling info to encourage users to push the straw back inside the carton once finished so that it can be recycled along with the carton.
We know change can be difficult, especially as our iconic Sukie cartons have been around a looooong time, but we hope that you will continue to support local and help us protect the planet for future generations. Did you know our Sukie flavours are also available in ml bottles and 1Litre cartons?
While we all loved the iconic dale farm hills, we all recognised that to ensure the brand continues to grow and thrive we needed to modernise, and we also have a great story to tell and our packs are a great way to tell that story. We have been working for many months, with the support of our farmers and consumers, to refresh our identity.
We wanted to communicate that we are farmer owned, something we are very proud of and our consumers were not aware of, and we also wanted to modernise to ensure as a brand we remain relevant.
Early feedback from our consumers has been really positive which is ultimately great news for the farmers who own the cooperative. Our new designs bring farming to the forefront of the brand and our packaging in a positive way for all ages and puts our mission as a co-operative brand, to share goodness everyday front and centre. Feedback is always welcome and will help us continue to shape this next chapter. Our brand mission is to share goodness everyday.
We are a proud supporter of a range of local grassroots sports, arts and community programmes and have a nominated charity that we are so happy to support. Please do get in touch and we will do our best to support, and if our roster of community support programmes is full, we will certainly add you to our wait list and will consider all proposals in the future.
Our parent company dale farm group handles all of the recruitment across all brands and divisions. Please visit the group careers website here for more details at as we are always looking for talented people who share our values to join our team here at the dale farm group. Whether Basildon council lets the development go ahead remains to be seen. It was shameful of this country that they decided to pick on such vulnerable people. I just think they deserve so much better. Patrick Egan, who owned a legally sited farmhouse on Dale Farm that was burned down a few years ago, still has nightmares about the eviction.
Though Egan had a legal right to stay, he said the eviction caused damage to his property, and the land that was once full of families and friends had turned into a dump site that he describes as toxic. He welcomes the opportunity to sell his land to a developer and finally have some closure. A year-old Romany woman who lives in nearby Noak Bridge, who wished to remain anonymous, echoed his sentiment.
She argues that racism has got worse for her community since the eviction. Our farmer members provide us with the freshest, highest quality milk, which forms the heart of our wide range of dairy products.
Previously known as United Dairy Farmers, Dale Farm Cooperative has been producing and innovating in dairy for decades. The people down the road have gone. Well it doesn't feel like five years. Dale Farm early on a Tuesday is a scene of smartly-dressed children heading off to school, men heading out in vans and adults smoking cigarettes behind open caravan doors.
Most of the travellers approached by the BBC politely declined to share their memories of five years ago, or say what had happened to their former neighbours. Some claimed they had only recently arrived and did not know of the site's history.
Another resident, a man in his 30s, believes the evictions caused more problems for the authorities than they solved. As former leader of Basildon Council, Mr Buckley was one of the architects of the eviction process. This was not the case in this instance Dale Farm. Still working in local government, Mr Buckley recounts how the issue of Dale Farm escalated over a seven-year period.
Then it went through the normal process, was rejected and then appealed and then there was a challenge through the High Court.
