Wellness shouldn’t come at the planet’s expense. We’re a small Australian business, so we focus on practical changes we can measure — from packaging and shipping to supplier standards and digital footprint.


What We’re Doing Now Live
  • Recyclable parcels: FSC-certified boxes/mailers with water-activated paper tape (curbside-recyclable).
  • Right-size packing: smallest suitable mailer; void fill only when necessary (paper only).
  • Paperless ops: digital invoices and returns — less waste, faster processing.
  • Supplier transparency: asking brands for packaging specs, excipients lists, country of origin, and COAs where available.
  • Clear claims: no “eco” fluff — just specific materials and standards.
Our Commitment (Simple & Practical)

We keep it real: small, consistent changes that actually reduce waste — no buzzwords, no fluff.

  • Responsible packaging: FSC-certified boxes/mailers and paper tape that recycle curbside.
  • Pack smarter: right-size parcels; paper void-fill only when it’s truly needed.
  • Paperless by default: digital invoices and returns to cut unnecessary paper.
  • Better sourcing: we prefer products with recyclable primary packaging and clear documentation.
What We’re Exploring Next
  • Carrier programs: publishing which delivery services offer carbon-neutral options.
  • Clearer labels: simple storefront badges (e.g., ♻ Recyclable Packaging) where it helps customers.
  • Yearly check-in: a short “What changed this year” note — plain English, no jargon.

If we say it, we can show it. That’s the rule.

Packaging Standards We Use
  • Boxes: FSC Mix or ≥70% recycled; single water-based ink.
  • Satchels: Prefer curbside-recyclable; if compostable, must meet AS 5810 and include disposal instructions.
  • Tape: Water-activated paper or natural-rubber paper tape only.
  • Void fill: Recycled kraft paper (no plastic air pillows).
  • Inserts: One A6 card max with QR to digital care guides.
Shipping & Returns (Smarter by Default)
  • Carriers: Prefer services with route-level emissions reporting or carbon-neutral programs; we’ll state what we use.
  • Bundle nudges: Cart hint encourages combining items to reduce shipments.
  • Returns portal: Photo + reason → route to restock, donate, or recycle; track restock rate.
Suppliers & Product Curation
  • We request: packaging recyclability, full excipients, country of origin, testing summaries/COAs, certifications.
  • We prefer: recyclable primary packaging (glass/aluminium/HDPE), longer shelf-life, and clear documentation.
  • We de-prioritise: mixed-material blisters with no take-back and excess outer packaging.
How We Measure Progress
  • % orders in recyclable packaging.
  • Average pack size and void-fill usage.
  • Return rate and restock rate.
  • Carrier emissions/neutral status where provided.

We publish a short yearly update with current metrics, improvements, and next targets.

Our Digital Footprint
  • Optimised images and lazy-loading to reduce data transfer.
  • Lean code: fewer scripts and fonts (readable, fast pages).
  • Email design favours HTML text over heavy images.
How You Can Help
  • Recycle our boxes/mailers curbside.
  • Combine items in one order when you can.
  • Join the Wellness Circle for timely refill reminders (fewer emergency shipments).
