OUR PACKAGING
We are committed to the environment and have focused on sourcing eco-friendly packaging.
​
Our cookies are wrapped in cellulose, which is home compostable. The paper labels are made from FSC paper and part of the eco packaging alliance.
Our signature brown cookie tub is made from Brown Kraft Paper that is sourced from responsibly managed plantations and the inside is lined with PE - meaning it cannot be recycled curbside. However the good news is the tubs can be recycled along with your tetra pak milk and mylk containers. Save them up and head to the Waiorea Community Recycling Centre at 990 Great North Rd, Western Springs, Auckland for a small fee of $2 per 40L crate (https://www.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz/rubbish-recycling/Pages/recycle-organisation.aspx?ListItemId=338) or at other recycling centres: https://www.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz/rubbish-recycling/Pages/recycle-item.aspx?ListItemId=201.
​
The cookies may look like they are wrapped in plastic but they aren't, the bags are NATUREFLEX™ – a compostable and renewable packaging film and certified home compostable within 8-12 weeks, and have incredible grease, oil and fat resistance. The cellulose is derived from FSC certified renewable wood pulp.
So go on and chuck them to worms in your compost :)
​
Our lovely NZ Artisan Award, tissue paper and Pt Chev Cookies tape are all made by the amazing Noissue, which is part of the Eco Packaging Alliance and we use crumpled paper to support our tubs during delivery.
