Our Eco Living story
At Pillar Products, we believe in the power of change and the impact it can have on our environment. The numbers are staggering – Australians generate approximately 2.5 million tonnes of plastic waste annually, which equates to roughly 100kg per person. These statistics are a stark reminder of the urgent need to take action. That’s why we embarked on our Plastic Packaging Initiative, a journey to make a difference.
Our commitment to reducing plastic waste led us to remove shrink-wrap packaging from our entire landscaping category. This simple yet significant move eliminates a staggering 2,868kg of single-use plastic from ending up in landfills each year. It’s a small step for us but a giant leap toward a more sustainable future.
On our journey to make a meaningful impact, we draw inspiration from the National Plastics Plan 2021. This government initiative is a comprehensive strategy to tackle plastic waste in Australia. By aligning our efforts with this plan, we’re contributing to a greener and cleaner future.
But our commitment doesn’t stop there. We’re incredibly proud of our Eco Living range, a range designed to keep your garden thriving year-round while championing sustainability. Our products are crafted from sustainable and biodegradable fibres that not only enhance your garden but also enrich the soil beneath.
