We're going
Sustainable
See our plan on how we are going to bite in and make a change
We’re dedicated to making sure we can have as much pride in our packaging as we do in our tasty products. We want to make sure you can dispose of our packaging correctly, and as easily as you can throw another couple of sausages on the BBQ.
The journey so far
We've been the movers and shakers of sustainable packaging in our industry since way back.
Hellers launch a range of tasty sausages into Costco stores around Australia.
We set an ambitious goal that in 2025 ALL our packaging will be recyclable.
Hellers re-launches in Australia with a range of tasty sausages and bratwurst sausages. Hellers also becomes an APCO signatory.
Trialling of new packaging materials is well underway at our Jandakot plant.
All our packaging is recycable
We’re going to be rolling out really clear disposal instructions on all our packaging for you.
Soft Plastic packs
We’re working to improve the recyclability of these packs so you can return to store with your other soft plastics.
Look out for our updated disposal instructions coming to packs soon!
Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Our country and our community have always been a big part of our business and we want to look after them. We understand the importance of reducing our carbon footprint by creating a saus-tainable business.
Our packaging goal is one thing, our emissions reduction goal is another: we’re going to have net zero emissions by 2030!
We’ve reviewed our group-wide operation and put a decarbonization pathway in place.
Pathway to Net Zero
The team here have developed a pathway forward to ensure we’re on schedule to meet our emissions target! We’re looking at lots of ways to see more energy efficient processes in our business. Our major projects toward decarbonisation include:
• Reducing our reliance on carbon dioxide in our process
• Investing in renewable energy sources, such as solar
• Converting away from our current refrigerants and coolants to those with a lower global warming potential
Food Safety remains top priority
Throughout the food industry, safety has to be the number one priority at every stage, and it’s crucial to the way we do everything at Hellers. Plastic plays a key role in keeping our products fresh and reducing food waste. Our aim is to use it where it makes sense and educate people on their role. We’re always looking for ways to improve.
