We’re chuffed to share something special with you: our Bottle Returns initiative.

At Thousand Apologies, we’re more than just a hot sauce brand; we’re committed to being a fully circular business. Our glass bottles not only deliver seriously addictive sauces but are also fully kerbside recyclable, making it easy for you to be part of something bigger.

Here’s where it gets even better—we invite you to return your used Thousand Apologies bottles, and we’ll give them a new life through sterilisation and reuse. As a thank you for your efforts, you’ll get a 15% discount on your next order. It’s our way of showing how much we value your role in our commitment to sustainability.

We obsessively fuss over every aspect of our business to ensure we stay true to our word. Our labels use compostable inks and non-toxic adhesive, while our packaging boxes, made from recycled, FSC-certified materials and printed with organic inks, are ready for composting or recycling at home.

To make it easy for you to join in, we’ve set up convenient return locations (for now, we only have a few but are working on adding more, so keep checking back)—head to this page to find a return location near you. If you can’t find one nearby, send your bottle back by post, and you’ll receive a free sauce with your next order.
