Environmental Impact
Pāli is dedicated to creating the most sustainable and clean shipping options for our customers. We are constantly assessing and updating our practices to ensure we keep up to date with the latest opportunities to minimise our carbon footprint and best manage our waste.
Packaging
For the last five years we have supported local businesses and collected secondhand boxes that would have otherwise gone to waste. As often as we can, we ship your beautiful baskets in reused boxes that have been sanitised. (Say thanks to Petbarn, Chemist Warehouse & National Storage :)) Now, due to needing specific sizes or quantities, some boxes are new from local sources but are fully recyclable.
That beautiful brown tape that is on your box is 100% recyclable with your box. This amazing innovation is water-activated to make it sticky, and super strong!
We're on the hunt for a fully recyclable shipping label.. but for now your label is landfill-biodegradable.. including the clear tape (thank you BioGone!)
We print on a recycled and recyclable matte stock, so put in the recycling bin when you're done.
In summary:
Box: recyclable (recycling bin)
Shipping label: landfill-biodegradable (regular garbage bin)
Stuffing paper: recyclable
Flyers/business card: recyclable

Recycling baskets
Market baskets are fully recyclable at the end of their lives, and Passionfruit baskets are recyclable when handles and bases (bamboo and rattan) are removed.
Pallet strapping is a versatile material used in many industries. As plastic is not biodegradable in landfill, recycling is extremely important as it reduces the demand for petroleum in which plastics are derived. As there is already too much plastic in circulation, complete eradication is unrealistic, but recycling gives us an opportunity to close the loop, slowing down the production of new plastics.
There is likely to be a pallet strapping recycling depot near you, however not all facilities process this material so it is important to check first. Alternatively we offer free shipping for baskets to be returned to us for correct recycling.
