Reducing Waste and Offsetting Carbon
One of the biggest areas we can make a difference is through our supply chain. Since Zea started we have only worked with ethically, sustainably sourced ingredients, ensuring that both the growers, environment and the people are treated with respect and paid a high premium for the ingredients.
In 2021 we saw an opportunity to do even better by reviewing our fulfilment processes. All Zea products are now packaged and shipped with our partner Future Fulfilment - a carbon-neutral 3PL. Alongside offsetting our fulfilment activities, all our orders are now packaged with eco-friendly compostable mailers, 99.9% recycled cardboard boxes, recycled hex wrap and compostable corn-starch packaging.
We are always looking for ways to reduce waste through our packaging and promotional materials. In 2021 we moved our biggest selling product, the Kunzea Pain Relief Cream to a 32% recycled plastic tube. We also launched our Kunzea Pain Relief Cream (Bulk Size) to help reduce the amount of packaging we put out into the world. Our promotional material is printed on ecoStar+, an environmentally responsible paper made carbon neutral and is FSC Certified Recycled.
