Envirionmental Awareness
As a Certified Organic Processor, Starwest Botanicals, Inc., is an avid supporter of sustainable agriculture. We make every effort to select ingredients from natural renewable sources, and to conduct business in a way that allows us to maintain our standard of environmental dedication, such as using recycled paper, packaging material, and non-toxic inks.
We also support United Plant Savers, a nonprofit education corporation dedicated to preserving native medicinal plants.
Starwest’s Fair Trade Certified teas are certified by TransFair USA, an independent non-profit organization which monitors and certifies Fair Trade products in the U.S. Fair Trade raises income and living standards for tea farmers overseas, while helping to protect the environment by prohibiting harmful chemicals in support of sustainable farming methods that are healthy for the farmers and their produce.
Starwest has been recognized by California’s Waste Reduction Awards Program for improving the environment by reducing wastes. We’ve also been approved by the National Green Pages for inclusion in their directory by adhering to the practices that best meet the needs of the consumer, employees, the company and the environment. Starwest Botanicals, Inc. continues to strive to not only meet the needs of our customers, but the environment that provides for us as well.
