Eco-Friendly Packaging
At Onkaparinga, our commitment to sustainability extends beyond our products to include our packaging. We are continuously striving to reduce our environmental impact and enhance our eco-friendly practices.
Transition to Eco-Friendly Packaging Solutions
We have made a significant effort to improve our packaging to better support the environment. This includes our ongoing company-wide goal to remove plastics from our business operations. Where PVC bags were once necessary, we have now transitioned to using PEVA bags, a more environmentally friendly alternative.
Reusable Fabric Bags
In addition, we have introduced self-fabric or printed fabric bags for our products. These bags are not only eco-friendly but also reusable, providing you with convenient storage solutions while reducing waste.
Cardboard Boxes: A Sustainable Choice
As part of our commitment to sustainability, Onkaparinga has moved from using PVC packaging to more eco-friendly cardboard boxes for our quilts. This change is a reflection of our dedication to reducing plastic waste and adopting more sustainable packaging solutions.
Why Cardboard?
Cardboard is a more sustainable alternative to PVC for several reasons:
- Recyclable: Cardboard can be easily recycled, reducing the amount of waste that ends up in landfills.
- Biodegradable: Unlike PVC, which can take hundreds of years to break down, cardboard decomposes naturally, minimising its environmental footprint.
- Renewable Resource: Cardboard is made from paper, a renewable resource that can be sustainably sourced and replenished.

Our Commitment to Sustainability
At Onkaparinga, sustainability is at the core of our operations. From sourcing high-quality Australian wool to utilising solar energy in our manufacturing process, and now advancing our packaging practices, we are dedicated to making a positive impact on the environment. Small changes, like switching to cardboard boxes and reusable fabric bags, along with our broader goal of eliminating plastics, can collectively lead to significant environmental benefits.
