APCO (Australian Packaging Covenant Organisation) Member
Supporting the Government's initiative to reduce packaging going to Landfill, we joined APCO and have put into place a number of targets and initiatives to move all our product packaging, where possible, to be 100% recyclable. We are currently seen as operating Beyond Best Practice by APCO.

Operational Initiatives to reduce our environmental footprint
In late 2021, we moved to new state-of-the-art manufacturing and distribution facilities. With our environmental footprint in mind, a number of operational initiatives were put into place. A bespoke cardboard packaging machine for recyclable packaging, autonomous mobile robots significantly reducing paper-based order picking, and electric forklifts reducing our consumption of fossil fuels. Recycling all materials where possible.
