Ecoware NZ Information

We believe we can change the world, without changing the earth. Inspired by the principles of a circular economy, we want food and food packaging waste to be returned to the soil with zero waste systems and sustainable practices, achieving diversion from landfill. Compostable packaging will be a part of the natural circle of life, and correct disposal deeply entrenched in daily behaviour. In essence, we want to see a plastic-free New Zealand. To do our part in helping achieve this, we provide sustainable plant-based food and beverage packaging solutions that are affordable and superior in quality. Traditional packaging is made from toxic, oil-based plastic that will never break down. It is a leading cause of many environmental issues we see today in New Zealand and throughout the world. We are a New Zealand owned and operated business on a crusade against such toxic packaging, and pioneering the compostable packaging industry in our country. Our products made from plants that are abundant and rapidly renewable such as cornstarch and bamboo fiber, are designed to be composted at the end of its life. Our offering has been designed to use resources sustainably and responsibly, giving environmental, social and economic concerns equal consideration. But we are more than just a packaging company. At Ecoware, we strive to lead the way when it comes to sustainability, that’s why we are New Zealand’s first and only carboNZero certified packaging company. We monitor and manage the entire company’s operations with a plan to reduce our carbon footprint. We offset all the carbon emissions associated with our activity by investing in restoration projects working to rejuvenate native New Zealand forests. We make doing good, good for business, and we try to inspire consumers to use their purchasing power as a vote for change. Small changes make a difference, and collectively, we make greater progress.
