Background
This document aims to identify actions that may be taken to address the on site
operations of Juicy Isle Pty. Ltd. to optimise environmental performance.
Juicy Isle Pty. Ltd. will review this document and associated actions on an annual
basis. The review process will allow documented actions to be critically evaluated
and their performance measured ensuring that a strategy of continual improvement is
adhered to.
Companies covered by these guidelines are small to medium size businesses that may
fall under the 1% market share level – this level would normally exempt them from
the National Packaging Covenant threshold. However as part of their commitment to
environmental and product stewardship they have undertaken these commitments.
Please note that these companies are somewhat restricted in the changes they are able
to effect within their industry.
Each company through their signatory status to the National Packaging Covenant
demonstrates a high level of commitment to minimising the impacts of their
operations and products has on the environment.

Packaging Waste
Sources of Packaging Waste
Sources of packaging waste come from three key areas of our
Manufacturing/Warehouse/Distribution facility.
1/ Packaging waste during the Production Process
2/ Packaging from the delivery of all Incoming Goods
3/ Return/Damaged Products
Description of above processes are detailed below.
1/ Packaging waste during our manufacturing processes is classified as packaging that
would normally have been used on our finished product but has been damaged during
the filling or packing process.
This would include waste for obsolete products or any new product development.
In process packaging waste forms approx 20% of total packaging waste. Juicy Isle
make a conciense effort to ensure all damaged cardboard boxes are re used by our
warehouse staff for packing orders and all cardboard dividers are returned to the
supplier giving us a good return on waste in the processing area.
2/ Ingredients and packaging materials delivered into our warehouse are packaged in a
variety of materials which can include drums, cardboard, plastic wrap.
These are usually palletised with plastic wrap. The majority of these materials are
recyclable as we predominately deal with companies that are signatories to the
national packaging covenant.
3/ Return/Damaged goods are classified as damaged finish goods requiring either
selling off at a reduction or disposal.
Returned bottles of plastic or glass are emptied and put into the appropriate marked
bins ready for collection by our recyclers.
Juicy Isle are continually working towards production efficiencies to reduce quantities
of product/manufactured waste as this remains a key target for all at the
manufacturing site. Packaging associated with finished goods waste is running at
approx 50% and it is an area that we are constantly monitoring.
