Eco-Friendly Practices
At TurTuk'd, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. Nestled in the pristine landscapes of Turtuk, Ladakh, we take pride in offering products that respect the environment, support local communities, and promote sustainable living.
Sustainable Sourcing
Our products are ethically sourced from local Balti farmers who use traditional, eco-friendly farming techniques. We avoid chemical fertilizers and pesticides, ensuring that everything you receive is pure, organic, and sustainable.
Minimal Waste & Plastic-Free Packaging
We prioritise biodegradable and reusable packaging to reduce plastic waste. Our products are carefully and consciously packed in eco-friendly materials, such as:
Recyclable paper stand tops
Glass jars (where applicable)
We encourage our customers to reuse or recycle packaging to minimise environmental impact.
Sustainable Logistics
Operating from a remote village means that transportation requires thoughtful planning. To reduce carbon emissions, we:
- Encourage bulk orders to optimise shipping and minimise transport trips.
- Use consolidated transport methods to reduce fuel consumption.
- Partner with eco-conscious delivery services whenever possible.
Supporting Local Communities
By choosing our products, you directly support Balti farmers and artisans, ensuring fair wages and preserving traditional craftsmanship. Our mission is to empower local communities while maintaining a sustainable supply chain.
Water Conservation & Land Preservation
Turtuk’s fragile ecosystem requires careful stewardship. We promote water-efficient irrigation methods and work with farmers to implement sustainable agricultural practices that preserve soil fertility and biodiversity.
