Packaging is 100% cardboard, made from at least 50% recycled content. It can easily be disposed of, for recycling, in your home recycling bin. We are an APCO (Australian Packaging Covenant) Member and assessed as operating at Beyond Best Practice.

Evidence Evidence

With our environmental footprint in mind, we have a number of operational initiatives in place. Our Melbourne facility runs on solar power, saving hundreds of tonnes of CO₂ emissions. Autonomous mobile robots have significantly reduced paper-based order picking, and electric forklifts reduce our consumption of fossil fuels. We also recycle all materials where possible.

Evidence Evidence

Our products are currently distributed via diesel road freight. Reducing the environmental impact of our distribution is an area we are committed to improving, and we are exploring lower-emission alternatives as they become viable.

At this point in time, at end of life your Buddies® Chair Pads should be disposed of in your household waste bin. However, we are actively working towards future recycling solutions. As a participant in the Top-of-Bed Working Group led by the Australian Bedding Stewardship Council (ABSC), we are contributing to the development of industry-wide recycling infrastructure across all top-of-bed materials. Independently, we believe we have also identified a potential partner capable of recycling returned products and off-cuts into household goods — something we are continuing to explore.
