SIX BARREL SODA
Celebrating its 10-year anniversary, soda syrup company Six Barrel Soda has maintained a commitment to low waste, sustainably produced and delicious products since it began.
Syrups are manufactured in small batches, packaged in recyclable glass bottles and shipped in fully recyclable cardboard boxes. The company also sources local and organic ingredients wherever possible.

ŌRA KING SALMON
3Since Six Barrel’s launch, the syrup maker has saved around five million 300 millilitre plastic bottles, or more than one million 1.5 litre plastic bottles from landfill.
Ōra King says it is focused on sustainability at all levels of operations and is committed to being a proactive force in the seafood industry. It has undergone a complete overhaul of its packaging, using the latest technologies to drive positive change for customers, company and environment.
Lids are now 100 per cent recyclable, saving potentially 80 tonnes of packaging going to landfill annually. The wood fibres used in cartons are a mix of new and recycled materials from environmentally credible and controlled sources.
Dan bands have been replaced with
reducing Ōra King’s plastic footprint, and in the process of
reducing liner bags, the company has saved roughly 6764
kilograms of plastic per year. Ōra King has also completed a trial
to convert Gel Pads to Nice Ice packs – a soft plastics recyclable 5 casing with 100 per cent water infill.
THE CRAFTY WEKA BAR
CEO of The Crafty Weka Bar, David Dunn says sustainability has always been at the forefront of the company’s values and proven through products that are good for you and kind to the environment.
“It is about being proactive to save the future of the planet, small steps in the right direction are better than not beginning the walk at all,” Dunn says.
Crafty Weka Bars packaging is 100 per cent home compostable, biodegradable and recyclable, with the bars inside in a bio-cellulose wrapper and packed in a compostable card box.
