At Rootree, we uphold our commitment to environmental responsibility with our ongoing partnership with Bullfrog Power. Over the past year, our partnership with Bullfrog Power has helped avoid 81 tonnes of C02e – not sure exactly what that means? We will break it down for you. Avoiding 81 tonnes of C02e is equivalent to taking 18 cars off the road for one year, switching 3,066 lightbulbs to LEDs, and growing 39 hectares of forest for one year!

Terracycle news is always exciting news — especially when it involves coffee. Sip back and relax because we can’t espresso how excited we are about this new initiative.
In September 2021, we had the exciting opportunity to produce our first Rootree Corporate video!
We have brought Jean-Baptiste Raimondi aboard as our Film Director. He is a native of Corsica, France, who we will have the pleasure of working with in our Burlington office for a few months of the year. As his first project, he took on the most ambitious task of directing our official Rootree Film; Seed to Shelf.
Today, the Climate Crisis is a well-acknowledged threat that people across the world have committed to improving. Over the past decade, as our planet’s environment has continued to deteriorate, the call for environmental sustainability from companies, leaders, and even individuals has increased tremendously.
Let’s take it back to 2015 when the idea for Maisha Tea was born. It all began when soon-to-be founder of Maisha Tea, Rachael Otukol, attended the African Innovation Foundation’s conference, Innovation Prize for Africa, in Morocco with her father. Upon leaving the conference, Rachael was inspired by the innovations of entrepreneurs.
Dear Rootree Community,
I am thrilled to share with you an exciting update regarding our compostable packaging.
Thanks to our diligent and dedicated team and partners who have spent several years performing research and development, we have developed a new lineup of compostable packaging that is greener, stronger, and better than ever.
We have heard the exploding demand for e-commerce-friendly compostable packaging, and we are thrilled to see the desire for such environmentally friendly options within our community of businesses; now, more than ever, is the time for us to be taking care of Mother Nature.
To say that Rootree is committed to sustainability would be an understatement; just as you wouldn’t say a tree is committed to producing oxygen - as it’s a force of nature, it just does it. In the same fashion, sustainability is deeply ingrained into Rootree’s DNA, and one doesn’t come without the other.
This is the beginning of an exciting chapter, and I look forward to sharing even more  offerings in the future. Thank you for joining us on this journey of sustainability and making this world a brighter, greener place.
Your continued support is undoubtedly appreciated, and we are honoured to be able to provide you with a product that you can be proud of.
Phil St-Cyr
President & CEO
