The first city-wide compost collection of its kind in NZ
Innocent Packaging started with an innocent idea. What if we could make packaging from plants and plant waste.
We got to work, looking for alternatives to petrochemical-based disposable food packaging. It’s taken a lot of hard work and some real innovation, but every single product we produce is made from plants.
Our coffee cups, cold cups, clamshells, plates, bowls,
boxes and lids are made from plants - yep, plants.
"Plastics production has increased twentyfold since 1964
yet just 5% of plastics are recycled effectively,
while 40% end up in landfill and a third in fragile
ecosystems such as the world’s oceans."
