- LAKRIDS BY BÜLOW products are crafted from the very best natural ingredients, underlining the importance of taking every necessary measure to care for the planet. From liquorice roots to cocoa beans, vanilla sourced from Madagascar, organic chili from a local farm in Denmark, to wild berries handpicked from the forest,
- Sustainable production from power consumption to packaging
- Since 2020, 100% of the power consumption on the liquorice factory outside Copenhagen where all the company’s products are crafted, is covered by power from Danish windmills, and in 2019, LAKRIDS BY BÜLOW became the first confectionary company in the world to switch to 100% recycled and recyclable (R-PET) plastic jar packaging. Launched in 2021, the fully organic SLOW CRAFTED collection presented in recycled glass jars and 2022 refill bags further minimise packaging consumption, reinforcing the brand’s positive impact beyond profits.
