The idea is simple enough: Save water. Save the environment. We’re careful to minimize our water consumption and replenish freshwater ecosystems with the equivalent of water volume used by our owned plants located in North America. We support water restoration efforts across the country, including a groundwater recharge program in drought-stricken California (where our almonds grow!) and Change the Course, an organization working to preserve the ecological health of the Colorado River basin.
Sustainability
FROM THE GROUND UP
When it comes to good food or a good planet, we don’t think it should be a choice. On top of great taste, every Silk product pays it back to the earth with water conservation initiatives, is wrapped in sustainable packaging and are Non-GMO certified- plus we help our pollinator friends keep buzzing. So go ahead, indulge yourself and the planet too!
Water conservation
EVERY DROP MATTERS
Recycling
PACKAGED FOR GOOD
There’s no need to feel empty when you finish a Silk carton. In fact, you can give it a second life by recycling it! Silk’s cartons, creamer bottles and cups for yogurt style are fully recyclable. Our packaging comes with easy-peasy How2Recycle instructions on it, because our packaging was made for the planet – not the landfill. But we’re not stopping here – by 2022, we hope to carry Silk in renewable cartons (made of plants!). Plant-based cartons for plant-based deliciousness!

Supporting pollinators
THE BUZZ IS TRUE
To bee or not to bee. For us, the answer’s obvious. Not only are we committed to making as many bee puns as possible, we strive to go bee-yond with our commitment to supporting pollinators. We’ve planted more than 25 linear miles of drought-resistant, flowering native California hedgerow plants on the orchards owned by the family who supplies our almond butter. These little flowers-that-could don’t just support the bees. These flowering living fences – which grow wild rose, coyote bush, wild lilac, elderberry and more – also support a huge range of songbirds, butterflies, raptors and other wildlife! Be(e) a saviour! Savour your Silk.
Our promise
HONEST TO GOODNESS
For more than 15 years, we’ve brought you simply delicious food. And the philosophy behind it is simple, too: Start with ingredients that are grown responsibly, and keep them as close to nature as we can. Today more than ever, we want you to know exactly what that means.
About us
GIVING OXYGEN BACK
Time to clear the air. Everyone has a footprint, even plant-based pioneers. Like all food production practices – farming, manufacturing, storage and distribution – the production of Silk generates some degree of greenhouse gas emissions. We’re not perfect and we know it. That’s why we’re constantly working on improving our distribution logistics and sourcing to limit our impact.
As part of our commitment to improvement, we’re proud to support ALUS Canada’s New Acre Project, a Canadian initiative that’s dedicated to giving oxygen back. Through New Acre Project, Silk invests in nature-based solutions to enhance Canadian community wetlands, improve riparian buffer zones and expand wildlife habitats to produce cleaner air, cleaner water and more biodiversity. Let’s do this!
