At Healthspan Formulas, we believe that caring for your health and caring for our planet go hand in hand. Just as we're committed to the highest quality supplements, we're equally dedicated to minimising our environmental impact at every step of our operation.

Sustainable Shipping Choices

Royal Mail: The Green Choice

We exclusively dispatch all orders via Royal Mail because they have the lowest average carbon footprint per parcel at just 200g CO2. This wasn't the cheapest shipping option for us, but reducing our environmental impact was more important to us than saving on shipping costs.

When you receive your Healthspan Formulas order, you can feel good knowing it arrived with the smallest possible carbon footprint. Read more about Royal Mail's push for Net Zero here.

Packaging That Protects You and the Planet

Fully Recyclable Materials

Every piece of packaging we use is fully recyclable. From the moment you receive your order to when you dispose of the packaging, nothing needs to go to landfill.

Made from Recycled Content

Our commitment goes beyond just being recyclable. Our envelopes and labels are made from recycled paper, giving new life to materials that have already served their purpose. These recycled materials are themselves fully recyclable, creating a true circular approach to packaging.

Minimal Waste Design

We've carefully designed our packaging to protect your supplements whilst using the absolute minimum amount of material necessary. No unnecessary bulk, no excess padding - just what's needed to ensure your products arrive safely.

The Bigger Picture

As a longevity-focused company, we take a long-term view of everything we do. What's the point of helping people live longer, healthier lives if we're damaging the planet they'll be living on?

Our environmental commitment isn't just about feeling good - it's about ensuring that the world our customers want to enjoy for longer remains beautiful and healthy for generations to come.
