A circular economy story

In crates, butter is all about the planet You know our love for good local ingredients, don't you? But do you know what motivates us even more? Our desire to offer you delicious Swiss biscuits that are also good for the planet. By fostering close and exclusive relationships with our local suppliers (hello short supply chain!), we have been able to develop a circular economy system. But what is a circular economy? Let's take the example of our friend René Pernet. Our dear master cheesemaker collects milk from 19 producers located less than 10 km around his cheese dairy in Peney-le-Jorat. René and his team produce butter using traditional methods, which gives it that pronounced taste and melting texture that you enjoy so much when tasting your Dorés beurrés.

And that's where the magic happens! Ready to travel the 67 km that separate the cheese dairy from the small biscuit bakery in Nyon, the butter is placed in plastic crates. It will never be stored for more than two weeks at our facility. Once empty, we send these same crates back to René. And presto, once cleaned, they are ready for the next delivery! Agathe's not crazy!

A winning bet for everyone For Alexis Richard, our head chef, reusable crates represent one of many actions implemented in recent years. Thanks to the recycling and reuse of primary packaging at over 90%, we avoid producing mountains of waste during the manufacture of your favourite Swiss biscuits. Beyond these practical arrangements, our privileged relationships with our producers allow us to pay them directly and actively participate in the development of the local economic fabric. A respectful way to gradually approach Agathe's ultimate goal: "To offer the best biscuits for the planet"!
