It all started with our sister company, nzwinehome, and the need for an eco-friendly, sustainable packaging solution to replace harmful polystyrene.
After more than 15 years of helping NZ wine producers deliver their wines to consumers around the world, we became increasingly discouraged with the limited options of polystyrene & plastic to protect wines in transit.
Committed to doing the right thing for our fragile ecosystem, we set out to find a better way to safeguard the bottles from breakage and provide protection from hot and cold temperatures along the way.
Through numerous testing trials we have proven that wool’s thermo resistance qualities deliver temperature stability that outperforms polystyrene and offers a protective layer for fragile cargo...our original wool hero was born.
Since 2019, when our sister company replaced polystyrene with wool, we have saved over 20,000 cases of polystyrene from going into worlds landfills.
I was delighted to receive the bottles in a cardboard carton, each bottle inserted into those cute, quintessentially Kiwi woolen sleeves
We thought the padding of the wine box was outstanding. Thank you for your commitment to finding a viable alternative to polystyrene.
I am very impressed and delighted to see your packaging as eco friendly. I appreciate that and hope more people can follow the cause.Â
Well done on your eco packaging.
I no longer want to buy wine from NZ if it comes in polystyrene.
