Sustainability

Good food starts with quality ingredients, but it also depends on the way it's made, packed and delivered.

At Barossa Fine Foods, we're always looking for practical ways to reduce waste, improve our packaging and make better use of resources across Barossa Fine Foods, Angelakis Bros. and Standom Smallgoods.

It's an ongoing process, and we're focused on making steady improvements while continuing to deliver the quality our customers expect.

Packaging plays an important role in keeping food fresh and reducing food waste, so we're continually reviewing the materials we use.

As members of the Australian Packaging Covenant Organisation (APCO), we're working towards Australia's National Packaging Targets by improving recyclability and reducing unnecessary packaging wherever practical.

Many of our products now feature the Australasian Recycling Label (ARL), making it easier for customers to understand how each part of the packaging should be disposed of correctly.

Reducing waste is part of our everyday operations. We make use of the whole animal, ensuring nothing goes to waste.

Across our retail stores, we use paper bags, recyclable deli wrap and reusable or compostable shopping bags where suitable.

Cardboard and other recyclable materials are also collected and recycled throughout our operations.

Sustainability isn't about one big change. It's about making small improvements over time.

Whether it's using solar panels, reducing our packaging footprint and package sizes, reducing waste or improving the way we operate, we're always looking for practical ways to lessen our environmental impact while maintaining the quality our customers know us for.

Some changes are small, others take time, but together they help us build a more sustainable business for the future.

About the Australasian Recycling Label (ARL)

The Australasian Recycling Label (ARL) provides clear recycling instructions to help Australians recycle packaging correctly.

Developed by APCO, Planet Ark and PREP Design, the label shows exactly how each part of a package should be sorted, making recycling simpler and more consistent.
