Sustainability

Our commitment to sustainability 

We are conscious of the world we live in, and the impact manufacturing can have on the environment. That's why we focus on everyday choices that, and together we can make a real difference.

Packaging and materials:

• We pack our orders using compostable cardboard boxes and popped starch for filling. Pop starch is made from 100% compostable corn - it's biodegradable and compostable.
• Our tubes are made using plastic from sugar cane, and our plastic bottles and jars are PET and are recyclable 1,2 or 5, so they can be recycled in your curbside recycling.
• The glass jars can be recycled or reused.
• All our  boxes are made using FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) using paper made from wood from responsibly managed forests that are certified by the FSC.

Protecting the bees:

• We have never partaken in animal testing and never will. None of our products, in either the product development or final production phase, have ever been tested on animals.
• Our bee hives are located in the foothills of the Waitakere ranges. We leave enough plenty honey in our hives for winter feed, so we don't have to feed sugar to the bees over winter.
