Nerada Tea continues to work in harmony with our environment, our people and our consumers & focuses on a better future for all.
Rainforest Alliance
We proudly support and source the majority of our ingredients which meet aligned initiatives such as the Rainforest Alliance. The Rainforest Alliance seal means that farmers follow more sustainable farming practices that protect forests, improve their livelihoods, promote human rights of farm workers, and help them mitigate and adapt to the climate crisis. To learn more about the Rainforest Alliance, visit www.rainforest-alliance.org.
Australian Packaging Covenant Organisation (APCO)
We are proud signatories to the Australian Packaging Covenant Organisation (APCO) and take pride in meeting and exceeding their initiatives. APCO envisions a collaborative packaging value chain to keep packaging materials out of landfill and retain the maximum value of the materials, energy and labour within the local economy. Our packaging decisions support our quest for a better tomorrow with our loose-leaf black tea packed in recycled-cardboard and our range of all other products use 95% recycled material. Importantly, these packets are 100% recyclable.
Environmental Initiatives
Our tea bag paper is unbleached, and we've now transitioned to fully compostable tea bag paper across all our retail products. Our bulk food-service lines - such as the 1000-pack tagged tea bags and 500-pack tagged envelope range - will also transition soon. At Nerada Tea, we partner with local producers and suppliers whenever possible to reduce our carbon footprint and support Australian businesses. Initiatives like Plastic Free July continue to spotlight our eco-friendly efforts, such as reducing single-use plastics in our workplace. So, when you enjoy a cup of Nerada tea, you can feel confident that it’s crafted with care for the environment at every step.
