What does sustainability mean to us?
Recyclable plant-based* plastic
We are excited to be reducing the % of fossil fuel sourced plastic we use. By using plant-based plastics we are able to reduce the amount of fossil fuels used to make our plastic, since part of it is made from natural sugar cane and its by-products instead, which is a renewable resource.
Our recyclable lids & scoops contain at least *66% plant-based renewable source. At least 66% of the lid and 95% of the scoop will be plant-based plastic.The remaining amount is fossil fuel based plastic.
The 66% plant-based plastic is made from sugar cane which is not bio-degradable plastic nor compostable.
However, it is still widely recyclable plastic within UK and Ireland, but check your local recycling facility. Our tins are also made from forever recyclable steel.

Important notice
We believe that breastfeeding is the ideal nutritional start for babies and we fully support the World Health Organization’s recommendation of exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of life followed by the introduction of adequate nutritious complementary foods along with continued breastfeeding up to two years of age. We also recognise that breastfeeding is not always an option for parents. We recommend that you speak to your healthcare professional about how to feed your baby and seek advice on when to introduce complementary feeding. If you choose not to breastfeed, please remember that such a decision can be difficult to reverse and has social and financial implications. Introducing partial bottle-feeding will reduce the supply of breast milk. LITTLE STEPS® Follow-on Milk is only suitable for babies over 6 months as part of a mixed diet. It should not be used as a substitute for breast milk during the first 6 months. The decision to start weaning or to use this product before 6 months, should be made only on the advice of a doctor, midwife, health visitor, public health nurse, dietitian or pharmacist, based on baby’s individual needs. LITTLE STEPS® Growing Up Milk is suitable for young children from 1-3 years, as part of a healthy balanced diet and it is not a breast milk substitute. We recommend that you speak to your healthcare professional about how to feed your baby and seek advice on when to introduce this product.
