Packaging

Forever New Australia prefers to use certified recycled materials, and we
encourage all our customers around the world to recycle responsibly. Forever New has recently joined the Australian Packaging Covenant Organisation (APCO), a not-for-profit organization leading the development of a circular economy for packaging in Australia.

Our Certifications

When picking more responsible packaging we ensure this is
certified by a global independent standard such as FSC or GRS.

This ensures our paper packaging does not contribute to deforestation or
illegal logging and our plastic packaging contains recycled materials.

We are committed to transitioning to more responsible materials in the future
and will continue to work on this aspect of our business.
