No Planet, No Pinot!

Good Pair Days -

We care about the planet like most people do, but looking at things pragmatically, climate change is making it harder to grow grapes, and we really need them to make your delicious wine.

So with that in mind below are the ways we’re trying to make you wine experience as kind to the planet as it is satisfying to your palate.

If you have any feedback or suggestions, we're always looking for new ways to do our part, so we'd love to hear them.

OUR PACKAGING

Wherever possible we use recycles materials and make sure our packaging is recyclable again. Some of our boxes use a sugarcane bio-product to make our internal protective packaging that is biodegradable and compostable.

For our boxes that have handles, we replaced our old plastic handles with a compressed paper handle rather than the plastic alternative.

We're also looking to make void filler and other protective materials as eco friendly as possible.

OUR DELIVERIES

The majority of deliveries in Australia are done with Australia Post who provide carbon neutral deliveries. You can read all about what they are doing here. Our other main courier partner Aramax is a United Nations Global Compact and are committed to Goal 13 of the UN Sustainable Development Goals; Climate Action and you can read more about what they are doing here.

In the UK we use Yodel, and you can read about what they are doing here. We are also trialing an emissions free delivery service called Hived, which you read more about here.

OUR WINES

We make an effort to source a wide range of vegan, natural and biodynamic wines to give our members the choice to receive only the style of wine manufacturing they align to.

WHAT'S NEXT?

We're definitely not perfect. And still have a long way to go. It's our mission to keep getting better and living up to our No Planet, No Pinot values.

Some things we are working towards

  • We're always looking for more sustainable packaging options. Soon we'll be reintroducing handles to our packaging. But we're working with this amazing Swedish company which makes them out of compressed recycled paper! Stay tuned.
  • We're brainstorming smart ways you can return your packaging, possibly with a collection of materials that we can help give a second life. Let us know if you have any great ideas here.
  • Keep checking here to see our future iniatives!

We have a long way to go as a planet, but we will make sure we play our part as a responsible business in keeping it in good health. That’s the Good Pair Days way.

After all, no planet, no pinot!
