Bucks County Biscotti Green Initiative

by Riley Silbert October 01, 2025

While biscotti is our passion and livelihood, stewardship of our environment with a focus on the reduction of our carbon footprint take the highest priority at Bucks County Biscotti.

From the ground up, we built our bakery with a specific focus on alternative energy and designed all our packaging to be biodegradable, recyclable, and reusable.

Everyday we’re constantly working towards sustainability in the production and distribution of our biscotti.

Solar Panels

In 2023 we installed a 20 panel 8000kW solar panel system to help drastically reduce our energy usage during production at the bakery. We're very proud that as of October 2025, we've produced 17.9 MWh, offsetting 27,778 Lbs of CO2 emissions. That's the equivalent of:

30,625 miles driven by the average passenger vehicle
13,359 pounds of burned coal
2.8 homes electricity use for one year
972,274 fully charged smartphones
12.1 acres of forrest carbon sequestration

Biodegradable Packaging

Biodegradable packaging from Bucks County Biscotti

All the packing peanuts used in our biscotti shipment are 100% biodegradable made from natural, nontoxic corn starch sources. They dissolve in water and can be thrown into compost piles after a single use. In addition, biodegradable foam peanuts do not have an electrostatic charge, meaning they will not stick to your clothes.

Recyclable and Reusable Gifts

Our shipping and packing boxes are all made from un-bleached, un-dyed, recyclable and reusable paper. Say that 5 times fast. This prevents the use of chemicals like chlorine that can hard on the environment, and decreases the amount of trash production for each shipment.

A few examples of things we've seen stored in the boxes long after the biscotti are gone include legos, spare reading glasses, and injured baby birds being nursed back to health.

Zero Product Waste

Bucks County Biscotti honor stands in NY and PA

Our biscotti honor stands are the perfect opportunity to please the local communities with a tasty deal, while eliminating the quantity of perfectly good cookies that did not quite make retail standards.

These 'noses, butts and breakers' that would have been otherwise discarded are bagged into ~1 Lb. bundles and sold for $5 at our 24/7/365 stands in PA and NY.

As long as our bakery is running, we will continue to operate with an environment consciousness that cares about the Earth as much we care about producing delicious biscotti for you to enjoy.
