Shaping a Sustainable Future

Sustainability is at the forefront of everything we do. Dedicated to making our supply chain as planet friendly as possible, we reduce our impact and overall footprint on the environment, economy and society wherever we can. We view sustainability not as a trend but as a necessary pillar of our business model, offering a point of difference to our partners and tangible benefits to our planet.

Working with sustainability specialists and using our environmental management plan, we keep sustainability on track at every point. Reducing waste, consumables and carbon emissions while increasing our systems for recycling and our team's overall knowledge and awareness. We are making significant strides in key areas of sustainability.

Our approach offers our partners the confidence that their products are not only of high-quality but also produced with minimal environmental impact.

Waste Reduction & Sustainable Packaging

TerraCycle Partnership

We have an extended partnership with TerraCycle, a global leader in collecting hard-to-recycle waste. TerraCycle's innovative solutions align with our commitment to waste reduction. Through using the Zero Waste Box, we're recycling personal protective equipment and other hard-to-recycle materials, reducing waste destined for landfills. We're recycling everything from disposable gloves, hair nets, and face masks to safety glasses, contributing to a significant reduction in production waste.

In-house Recycling

Beyond our partnership with TerraCycle, we're dedicated to waste reduction within our facility:
Cardboard Recycling: All cardboard waste is recycled, compressing it into bales and sent to the Sydney Paper Mill to be repurposed, reducing the demand for new materials.
Wooden Pallets Recycling: Unused wooden pallets are 100% recycled. They're either repurposed into new pallets or upcycled into furniture.

APCO Membership

We're a proud member of the Australian Packaging Covenant Organisation (APCO), a non-profit committed to building a sustainable national packaging ecosystem. This affiliation shows our dedication to identifying sustainable packaging solutions that minimise environmental impact. APCO facilitates the delivery of Australia’s 2025 National Packaging Targets, as well as promotes circular packaging design, working to improve collection and recycling systems and education, and expanding markets for used packaging.
