We're a Certified B Corporation™
Achieving a score of 87.5 in our B Corp Assessment reflects what's at the heart of decent packaging: everything we make, we can unmake. Because we want to leave this world a little better than we found it, and help you do the same.
We’re proud to be part of a community of companies working together for change, and taking part in collective action to advocate for a shared goal of a global economy that benefits people and the planet.
What does being a B Corp mean?
Certified B Corporations meet the highest standards of verified social and environmental performance, transparency and accountability. It’s a global community of people using business as a force for good.
Most importantly, it’s holding ourselves accountable and sets a standard for us to build from – all the while continuing to produce sustainable and compostable packaging alternatives to traditional oil-based plastics.
It’s been a lengthy journey and a huge amount of work to get here, but one we are very proud of. It’s our commitment to our people, our community and our planet because after all - they are what makes us decent.
Our Products
So many products are created without a second thought as to what happens at the end of their life, and all too often they're going straight to landfill or worse, into our beautiful natural environment like the oceans. We wanted to transform disposable food packaging into an industry beyond oil, so we looked for a plant-based solution. This creation of a Circular Economy means we're reducing the amount of rubbish being sent to landfill and reducing the energy output that's required to break it all down. We talk more about the Circular Economy here.
We use fast-growing, renewable plant materials like sugarcane and cornstarch, and sustainably sourced or recycled paper, which we turn into coffee cups, napkins, plates, bowls, cutlery, you name it.
Our People & Community
Our people are what keeps us moving and we are incredibly grateful to have such a supportive community.
We work with KiwiHarvest, providing packaging to help them tackle food waste across New Zealand. We also donate a range of packaging regularly to the Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch City Missions, as well as school galas, local food banks, and community events.
In collaboration with Everybody Eats, we produced the Goodie Box & Bowl - a doggy bag concept where diners can donate a meal to someone in need. Read more about the product here.
Our Planet
We are committed to understanding our environmental impact, including taking action to address negative impacts in order to contribute to an economy that preserves our natural resources.
A few of the ways we ensure we're hitting our environmental targets? We default ship, rather than fly goods which, although results in longer lead times for customers, has a much lower carbon footprint. We work with NZ Couriers who are Toitū Certified, and use NZ Post's carbon-neutral delivery services. We don't use fossil fuels in the production of our packaging to avoid the risk of oil spills, super toxic refineries, and unethical business practices that go hand-in-hand with oil production.
We are constantly analysing and reviewing to ensure we’re doing everything we can to minimise our footprint at every point along our supply chain. You can read more about our score on the official B Corp website here.

Achieving our B Corp certification is just another step in our sustainability journey, and we know the hard work doesn’t end here.
