Aera Spices and Herbs is committed to conducting business in a sustainable manner for our clients, stakeholders, and the environment. The company has implemented various measures to reduce energy consumption and its carbon footprint, demonstrating pride in its efforts.
Sustainability is a crucial aspect to consider when it comes to spices. To ensure the sustainability of spices, it is important to source them from suppliers who practice ethical and environmentally-friendly methods of production. This includes supporting fair trade practices, promoting biodiversity, and conserving natural resources. Additionally, efforts should be made to support local farmers and communities who cultivate spices in a sustainable manner.
Natural and Organic Cultivation
Aera Spices and Herbs has a rich tradition of cultivating plants using natural and organic methods. Our planting techniques adhere to strict organic standards, meeting international regulations to uphold product quality and minimize environmental impact.
We advocate for sustainable agricultural practices that aim to minimize pesticide use, sequester carbon, lower greenhouse gas emissions, preserve soil health and forest cover, and support thriving ecosystems. Following fair-trade principles, our cultivation methods ensure fair wages for indigenous farmers and local laborers, promoting equitable and sustainable livelihoods.
Production processing and packing
We oversee the production, processing, and packaging of our products by closely monitoring water and energy usage. We assess the efficiency of all equipment in our plant to reduce energy consumption during production. Additionally, we use biomass particles as combustion raw materials, which are renewable and environmentally friendly.
We strive to utilize 100% of the raw material botanicals to create plant extracts and natural ingredients, minimizing waste. The remnants of raw material herbs and plants are repurposed as fertilizer or animal feed, promoting a circular economy and a cleaner environment. We also choose eco-friendly paper bags for packaging our products.
Overall, ensuring the quality and sustainability of spices requires a commitment to sourcing from responsible suppliers, maintaining high standards of production and storage, and supporting ethical and environmentally-friendly practices. By prioritizing these aspects, we can enjoy the culinary delights of spices while also contributing to a more sustainable and equitable food system.
