Sustainability is an ongoing journey for Hoselink. We’re always pushing to do better for the planet and reduce our environmental footprint. Over the years, we have been making significant strides to improve our sustainability efforts, and we are constantly reviewing the lifecycle of our products and packaging to see how we can improve.
With every product we manufacture and ship, sustainability is our top priority.
We have always created our products with the environment in mind – the very foundations of Hoselink were built on durable hose connectors designed to save water. Over the past two years, we have really stepped up our sustainability efforts, and since 2019, we have:
- Removed over 176,000 polybags from our product packaging
- Removed 1,500m of bubble wrap from packaging
- Replaced all small and medium mailing satchels with biodegradable alternatives, eliminating over 100,000 plastic satchels per year
- Formed a Sustainability Committee to constantly review how we can be better for the planet
- Introduced an eco-friendly solar light range complete with recyclable packaging
- Reduced the size of our Hose Reel boxes to save on packaging
We’re committed to a sustainable future and have set out the following environmental goals to achieve by 2025:
Remove all single-use plastic packaging and polystyrene from our products and replace them with recyclable, reusable or biodegradable alternatives
Reduce company waste sent to landfill by 50%
Reduce our paper printing in the office and warehouse by 75%
Find better ways to manage waste
Reduce freight by minimising box and packaging sizes
Reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 50% across our operations
Commit to reducing product and packaging materials
Commit to inspire responsible consumption by promoting conversations, influencing attitudes and driving a positive impact on society and the environment
Commit to building partnerships to advance our conservation efforts in protecting and rejuvenating Australian fauna and flora
