Part of our philosophy in using natural products & self-care extends to minimizing our impact on our environment going forwards.
Our business uses recycled paper in our office, we rarely print instead we use soft copy filing, we pay more to use recycled materials & eco-packaging because we believe everyone has a responsibility to choose products that work towards a better future for our planet. We only have one. To reduce our carbon footprint and support local industry, all our bottles, our lotions, our labels, our filling, and our warehousing & admin teams are all based in the same state. Local production means less transport, less fuel, and fewer resources.
Recycled Bottles:
At Pole Physics, we care about the environment, and that's why we use 100% recycled HDPE material to make our bottles. This material, called rHDPE, is sourced from post-consumer recycled milk jugs and household cleaner bottles.
Australia produces a staggering 3.5 million tonnes of plastic waste yearly, but only about 10% of it is recycled. The rest pollutes our environment by being burned, buried, or shipped overseas. We believe that it's time to take action and reuse the waste that already exists. By making it usable and repurposing it over and over again, we can reduce the amount of plastic waste produced. Therefore, we are committed to using recycled materials for all our lotions.
Partnering with Eco-friendly brands:
Enviroco:
Pole Physics is committed to supporting eco-friendly brands such as EnviroCo by showcasing and stocking their revolutionary products on our website. At Pole Physics, we understand the importance of sustainability in the fitness industry, and we are proud to align ourselves with brands that share our commitment to environmental responsibility.
Enviro Co is all about sustainable activewear. Every piece is crafted from high-quality recycled materials to ensure longevity. Each collection is inspired by natural landmarks and donates directly back to those landmarks with each sale. For every item we sell, 50 cents is donated to charities that support the conservation of our earth. (The Daintree Range donates exclusively to the Daintree Rainforest).
Eco-Friendly Packaging:
Our compostable mailers we use, fondly known as HEROPACKs (shipping bags) or HEROBUBBLEs (padded shipping bags), are used to ship our products to customers. Unlike traditional shipping mailers, these are NOT made from single-use plastic. HEROPACK mailers are made from 30% plant-based materials such as PLA and 70% from a certified compostable material called PBAT (a synthetic bonding agent).
In a world where sustainability is not just an option but a necessity, we believe that every choice we make as a business matters. We're dedicated to reducing our environmental footprint, embracing recycled materials, and partnering with eco-conscious suppliers. Join us in the movement towards a more sustainable future! Your choices matter, and here's your chance to be a part of positive change.
