🌱 Our Packaging & Sunstainability Promise

🌱 Our Packaging & Sustainability Promise

Real: As in our dairy

At Farm Fresh South, we believe in simplicity and integrity—from what’s inside our bottles to the packaging we use. Our commitment to real, unprocessed dairy means we also champion packaging that’s honest, eco-friendly, and reusable.

♻️ 100% Reusable Glass

We use locally made glass bottles for all milks and yoghurts—sturdy, elegant, and designed to return, refill, and re‑enter the loop.

These bottles are built to last through hundreds of uses, dramatically reducing waste and carbon emissions.

Customers love the clean taste and feel of glass—and you’re part of the solution when you return them for reuse.

💧 Maintain Freshness, Reduce Waste

Our extended-life creams and specialty milks come in light-blocking glass to preserve taste and nutrition—no plastic films, no gimmicks.

Tamper-proof, recyclable aluminium lids seal in freshness and are accepted by most kerbside recycling services.

🥛 Bulk Reusable Milk Kegs for Hospitality

For cafés, restaurants, and foodservice, we offer stainless steel milk kegs—perfect for high-volume use without single-use waste.

Each keg is cleaned, sterilised, and refilled at our facility.

Delivery is streamlined, and baristas get a consistent, fresh pour every time—no plastic bottles, no cartons, no compromise.

🌿 Locally-Sourced, Closed-Loop

Both our bottles and kegs are sourced and serviced within New Zealand, reducing freight emissions and supporting local manufacturing.

Empties are returned, washed, and reused—a clean, low-impact system designed to last.

🌍 Small Footprint, Big Impact

A single glass bottle used over 200 times emits around 70% less CO₂e than disposable packaging.

Damaged glass is recycled into new bottles or materials—never sent to landfill.

📦 Low-Waste Home Delivery

Our delivery network is carefully planned to reduce mileage and emissions.

🚀 Always Improving

We're constantly exploring better ways to get real dairy to more people in packaging that’s gentle on the planet. Every change we make is driven by our goal of reducing waste while protecting quality, freshness, and our environment.
