Sustainability at the Heart of Cheshire Farm Ice Cream’s Operations

We’re committed to reducing our carbon footprint and promoting a sustainable future. We look after our planet and people.

In practice, this means we’re constantly exploring new and innovative ways to improve our sustainability, from energy efficiency to the environmental impact of ingredients we source.

Energy Efficient Ice Cream Production

Our production facilities are designed for energy efficiency, minimising emissions associated with refrigeration and other areas of the manufacturing process.

20% of our power is generated by on-site solar panels. 96% of electricity purchased is from renewable sources.

Reducing Emissions

Reduction of emissions from our operation is a major priority at Cheshire Farm Ice Cream. By partnering with other local companies and farmers, we can reduce indirect emissions associated with our supply chain.

We’re proud to source all our milk from a herd of Friesian cows milked less than 500 metres away, minimising transport emissions. 90% of our workforce live within 10 miles of the farm.

We’re always striving to reduce waste, and source the most environmentally friendly, biodegradable packaging options available.

Future Goals

Currently, 20% of our workforce drive EVs and a further 20% cycle to work. By 2030, we are aiming to convert our fleet of vans to alternatively fuelled vehicles.

Alongside our AA BRC Accreditation, we aim to become a B Corp certified business in the near future.

Closing the Loop: From Tubs to Benches

At Cheshire Farm Ice Cream, sustainability isn’t a statement, it’s action.
 
In recent years, we’ve collected thousands of our 5-litre ice cream tubs and given them a second life. Instead of heading to landfill, these tubs are recycled and transformed into durable, long-lasting benches.
 
Each bench is made using over 500 recycled tubs, turning packaging that once held our ice cream into practical seating with purpose.
 
The result? A visible reminder of our commitment to reducing waste, rethinking materials, and taking responsibility for the packaging we create.

Turning Packaging into Purpose

Every tub represents a small moment of enjoyment. By recycling and repurposing them, we’re extending their story far beyond the scoop.
 
These benches are:

Made using over 500 recycled 5L tubs per bench.

Created to significantly reduce plastic waste

Built to last, lowering long-term environmental impact

A meaningful step towards a more circular packaging model

Part of a Bigger Commitment

Our bench initiative forms part of a wider sustainability journey.
 
In addition to recycling our larger tubs, our 125ml and 500ml retail tubs are fully biodegradable, helping to reduce environmental impact at every level of our packaging.
 
From responsible sourcing to thoughtful material choices, we are continually exploring ways to reduce our footprint while maintaining the exceptional quality we’re known for.
 
Because great ice cream should be enjoyed today, without compromising tomorrow.
