What are we doing?

  • RECYCLE

    Our packaging is 100% recyclable. We chose to use a fully plastic film on our flow-wrapped products. We are doing everything we can to support deposit return schemes (DRS) with recycling pods in our shops and at our offices and main bakery. The plastic wrap can be given back to our drivers for us to recycle or taken to any soft plastic recycling at major supermarkets or recycling centres.

  • REDUCE

    We encourage wholesalers to have our bread ‘naked’ as much as possible. Reducing the amount of plastic we use in the production process is the best way to help bring consumption within the company down. We also encourage customers to reduce their waste with tips on how to make you loaf last longer. See details below.

  • RECOVER

    We use organic flour for half of the Baker Tom range, ensuring we're free from pesticides and supporting sustainable farming practices. The other half of our range, our specialty breads, is now made with regenerative flours, which go beyond sustainability to actively improve the land they’re grown on. It’s all about quality and knowing where our ingredients come from.

Reducing Waste, One Loaf at a Time

At Baker Tom, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. We believe in creating high-quality, fresh bread made with simple, natural ingredients—and we want to make sure that quality lasts. That's why we’re committed to helping you reduce food waste and get the most out of every loaf.

By encouraging our customers to store and enjoy their bread in ways that help it last longer, we’re making a positive impact on the environment. From freezing to refreshing in the oven or toasting for a delicious crunch, we’re all about helping you enjoy every bite without worrying about waste.

We also want to ensure that the bread you buy isn’t just fresh but also enjoyed to the fullest. Our tips to make your bread last longer include:
🥖 Freezing for later use
🔥 Refreshing in the oven for that freshly baked taste
🍞 Toasting for a delightful snack

By reducing waste and storing your bread thoughtfully, we’re all doing our part in creating a more sustainable future.

Thank you for joining us on this journey to keep things fresh, simple, and eco-friendly!
