Doing Our Bit for the Environment

At Herbyville House, we love to recycle and to keep our waste at a minimum.

We want you to feel good about helping too! It doesn’t have to be hard if we all try –

Recycle, Reuse or Compost.

We try to achieve this by wrapping and packing your goods well and choose to buy- home recyclable items, landfill biodegradable, items made with recycled materials or natural products, Australian made and just environmentally responsible as much as possible. This keeps waste from landfill and ensures that you receive your goods in a safe and secure manor. 

.

Some of our packaging includes –

Australia Post – recyclable Australian made boxes.

• 100% fully recyclable, Recycle in your kerbside recycling bin, FSC certified parcel boxes.   

HeapsGood Packaging VIC- we love these guys.

We use their Water Kraft Tape to seal some of our boxes. Great for the environment from the beginning to the ending.

• Made from recycled paper waste
• Recyclable on cartons, no need for removal
• FSC certified and EN13432 compliant
• Natural starch adhesive derived from potatoes

We use also use their Eco tape to seal some of our boxes. It uses a natural rubber adhesive and is made from PLA and certified to break down in a commercial composting facility within 60 days due to its materials. Home composting takes a little longer, but Eco tape decomposes with zero toxicity, letting worms munch on the leftovers.

(NOTE- This can be recycled with other soft plastics or disposed of in the general rubbish bin. Whatever you choose it will be better for the environment than regular tape, So, it’s a WIN WIN for all. Once disposed to landfill it will biodegrade approx. 90%+ faster than the nasty tape and the worms can do their thing!)
