NZ SAFETY BLACKWOODS:
SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS SOLUTIONS
As New Zealand businesses focus on moving towards a more circular economy, it is becoming increasingly
important to source and implement sustainable solutions across all areas of business operation.
While the emphasis is, rightly, on
reviewing materials used and refining
production processes to minimise
waste and reduce emissions, it is
equally important to look at how
simple changes across areas
such as back-end office, personal
hygiene, cleaning and shipping
can help minimise environmental
impacts.
NZ Safety Blackwoods is proud to
partner with key suppliers to identify,
develop and source solutions and
environmentally-certified products
that meet customer requirements
while helping meet their sustainability
goals.
Categories include:
Office and cafeteria: Consumable
and disposable by nature, office and
cafeteria products present a great
opportunity to implement simple
changes to drive sustainability.
Printer paper and stationery are
available in recycled, recyclable
and sustainably sourced options;
beverages can be ethically and
sustainably sourced to reduce
carbon footprint; and disposable
cafeteria items such as cutlery
and napkins are available in both
recyclable and compostable
materials. Other common food and
beverage packaging items like cups,
lids and bowls are also offered in
recyclable, compostable and bioresin
options.
Personal hygiene and cleaning:
As well as sustainably sourced
tissue, environmentally-friendly
cleansers, and dispenser systems
designed to minimise wastage;
suppliers are designing smart
packaging to minimise material
usage and encourage recycling.
From general detergents and
antibacterial solution, through to
heavy duty degreasers; a range
of non-toxic and biodegradable
cleaning agents are available.
Lean industrial packaging
FOCUS ON SUSTAINABILITY
and protection: Traditionally
high-waste shipping options
can be replaced with recyclable
paper courier bags, cartons
and tapes; sophisticated
custom-packaging systems and
pallet wrap alternatives – that
minimise material usage without
compromising on product
protection and employee safety.

supply sustainable solutions to
