Eco-friendly

At Root One, we realise that environmental issues are causing dramatic changes to our climate and we want to do what we can to help minimise the impact we have as a business.

What are we doing to help the environment?

At Root One we:

  • Generate our own energy with solar pv panels.
  • Recycle our paper, cardboard, plastics and glass from our Garden Centre and Café.
  • Use bio-degradable carrier bags.
  • Work with South Oxfordshire District Council to offer a Christmas tree recycling service.
  • Compost our food waste from the café.
  • Offer our customers free bags of our used coffee grounds for their garden. It is great for the garden, keeps our carbon footprint low and reduces landfill waste.
  • Use cardboard straws and washable cutlery in our café to help reduce plastic waste.
