Australian Sea Salt Sustainability Actions

Uses solar evaporation

Olsson Pacific says it makes its sea salt in the Spencer Gulf in South Australia using natural solar evaporation. The seawater is moved through ponds, where it slowly evaporates and forms salt crystals. The salt is then washed, dried in the sun, and packaged. This method uses sunlight instead of heavy industrial processing, which the company presents as part of its lower-impact production approach.

Recycled block packaging

The company says its block boxes are now made from 100% recycled, unbleached cardboard. It also says the cardboard can be safely consumed by livestock. This change is presented as a packaging improvement that reduces waste and supports a more circular use of materials, meaning materials are kept in use for longer instead of being thrown away after one use.

Runs nutrition seminars

Olsson Pacific says it sponsors free ruminant nutrition seminars across Australia for graziers. Ruminant animals are animals like cattle and sheep that digest food in a special way. The company also offers a free nutritional advisory line for feeding questions and livestock issues. These activities show a focus on education for farmers, especially around animal nutrition and farm management.

Supports methane solutions

The company says it has been aware of the need to reduce methane since the 1990s and is working on partnerships that support methane solutions for grass-fed animals in Australia. Methane is a greenhouse gas that warms the planet. The available material does not give full technical details, but it shows that the business is linking part of its work to lower-emission livestock production.

Uses recycled shipping boxes

In its family and company history, Olsson Pacific says its block boxes are made from 100% recycled, unbleached cardboard. It also says it has increased block concentration over time, which it links to lower fuel use and better feed efficiency. Feed efficiency means getting more useful output from the same amount of feed. The company presents this as both a packaging and logistics improvement.
