OUR PLASTIC NEUTRAL PROMISE
REMOVING AS MUCH PLASTIC FROM NATURE AS USED IN OUR PRODUCTS
“Diverting plastic has been near and dear to my heart ever since I was a kid. At Fire Ox, protecting our earth is a core part of why we do what we do. We believe it is our responsibility to be stewards of our planet - to do everything we can to stop climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution. To that end, we are very excited to jumpstart our sustainability efforts by partnering with rePurpose to offset our plastic waste.”
— Zoë Geller, Co-Founder & CEO
HOW IT WORKS
-
CALCULATE
The first step in our journey was to understand where we are at, in order to inform future action. We established our current plastic footprint and committed to pledging a percentage of every product purchase towards the removal of nature-bound plastic waste.
-
FINANCE
We fund the elimination of as much plastic waste from oceans and landfills as we produce through our collaboration with vetted rePurpose Impact Projects, which are empowering waste workers to tackle plastic waste in local communities.
-
REDUCE
Going Plastic Neutral is a continuous commitment, and that’s why we are working with rePurpose Global to develop a future roadmap reducing the use of virgin plastics in our products — and build a more circular business and delivery model.
STEWARDS OF GOOD FOOD, FOR US AND THE PLANET.
IMPACT THAT UNITES THE WORLD
When we choose to take action on our plastic waste, we create meaningful impact in a world without borders. We fund waste management facilities and empower local communities in geographies without the necessary infrastructure to remove, recover, and recycle plastic waste that would have otherwise remained in the environment for centuries.
SUPERCHARGING SYSTEMIC IMPACT
First, we work with vetted and experienced circular economy and waste management ventures. Next, we fund programs that enable these ventures to scale up plastic waste avoidance, removal, recovery, and recycling efforts. Finally, through thorough due diligence, we ensure adherence to global environmental and labor standards.
It takes an army to fight the ongoing plastic waste crisis, and with rePurpose Global, we are able to create tangible environmental and socio-economic impact. We’re not only helping remove plastic waste from the environment, but we’re also enabling steady livelihoods for forgotten waste workers across the globe.

FIRE OX FOODS’
PLASTIC NEUTRAL JOURNEY
STEP 1: SUSTAINABLE SOURCING
We believe that earth is our home and we have a responsibility to take care of it. In order to mitigate our environmental impact, we have chosen to include plant-based ingredients to make our meals and use FSC certified paper packaging that is curbside recyclable. We are excited to work with rePurpose Global to continue to reduce our product’s footprint by offsetting our plastic waste.
STEP 2: THE PLASTIC NEUTRAL SHIFT
Building on rePurpose Global’s belief that businesses can positively impact the environment and society, Fire Ox Foods has gone Plastic Neutral. Through our partnership, we are taking the first step to systemic environmental change — financing waste management infrastructure and empowering marginalized workers fighting the plastic waste crisis on the frontlines.
STEP 3: THE FINAL DESTINATION
Fire Ox aims to catalyze environmental stewardship among our consumers by educating them on what matters, why it matters, and what they can do to make a change with us. We also aim to measure and offset our carbon footprint, offset our paper usage, and become B corp certified.
