Our Environmental Commitment
Working with our customers and suppliers to reduce environmental impact across the hospitality industry.
At Northland Distributors, we recognise that the packaging and hospitality supply industry has a role to play in reducing waste and environmental impact. We're committed to expanding our range of sustainable products and helping our customers make more environmentally responsible choices.
What We're Doing
We actively source and stock a growing range of eco-friendly, compostable and recyclable products. We work closely with our suppliers to understand the environmental credentials of the products we carry, and we make it easy for our customers to find sustainable alternatives to traditional packaging.
Compostable Packaging
We stock a range of certified compostable packaging made from sugarcane bagasse, PLA and other plant-based materials. These products break down in commercial composting conditions, diverting waste from landfill.
Recyclable Options
Many of our paper, cardboard and aluminium products are fully recyclable. We help customers identify which products in their current range can be swapped for recyclable alternatives without compromising on performance.
SA Legislation Compliant
South Australia has banned expanded polystyrene (foam) food containers and a range of other single-use plastic items. Our range is kept up to date with SA's single-use plastics legislation — we don't stock banned items and can help you find compliant alternatives.
Supplier Partnerships
We work with suppliers who share our commitment to sustainability — sourcing products with credible environmental certifications and transparent supply chains wherever possible.
