OUR APPROACH TO SUSTAINABILITY
Premium New Zealand-made Kawakawa balm, with a considered approach to packaging and delivery.
We don’t believe premium should automatically mean more packaging.
Where something can be removed without compromising the product, its protection or the customer experience, we believe it should be.
For the single 80g balm, the aluminium tin is the product packaging — with no unnecessary retail box around it.
FROM TARANAKI TO YOUR DOOR
Getting a product from us to you has an environmental impact. We won’t pretend otherwise.
That’s one reason we’ve chosen NZ Post. It continues to invest in lower-emission vehicles and has committed to transition its last-mile delivery network to low-emission vehicles by 2032.
Working with a national delivery partner actively reducing emissions is a practical step in the right direction.
NZ Post has committed to transition its last-mile delivery network to low-emission vehicles by 2032.
By May 2025, 70% of NZ Post’s internal fleet of almost 1,000 operational vehicles was electric.
NZ Post reported around 180 charging points across work sites and employees’ homes supporting its internal electric fleet.

WHEN THE BALM IS FINISHED
Use every last bit. Empty and clean the tin, then follow your local council’s guidance for recycling metal packaging.
Before recycling, the durable tin can be reused for small everyday essentials. When it reaches the end of its useful life, clean it and recycle it where accepted.
We don’t want sustainability to become another marketing label.
We’d rather be clear about the choices we’re making — reducing unnecessary packaging, choosing materials with practical end-of-life options and working with partners investing in lower-emission operations.
As Taranaki Wild grows, we’ll keep reviewing how we make, pack and deliver. When there’s a genuinely better practical option, we’ll take it.
