Impact Initiatives

We are proud to be officially partnered with 1% for the Planet! That means, as a member we donate 1% of all our revenue to help support environmental and social non profits that are committed towards driving positive change for our planet.

As an Australian family business, all of our Zea products are manufactured here in Australia, and a majority of our ingredients are also locally and sustainably sourced. That means we are able to reduce transportation related carbon emissions.

All jars, tubes, bottles and pouches used in manufacturing Zea products are 100% recyclable in your local council recycling. We also try to ensure all orders we ship out are plastic-free. While a few may escape through the cracks, and we may use bubble wrap on a rare occasion when order is particularly fragile, they are the exception to the rule. 

We are proud to be officially partnered with Musculoskeletal Health Australia (MHA), a not-for-profit organisation who support people with arthritis, back pain and over 150 musculoskeletal issues, across Australia. Their free B.A.M. helpline offers individiauls to the opportunity to speak with a qualified health care professional about their condition. Their free B.A.M. helpline offers individiauls to the opportunity to speak with a qualified health care professional about their condition. As many of our customers are affected by such conditions, we are thrilled to be partnering with such an important organisation to drive meaningful change together.

In 2020-21, we moved our biggest selling product, the Kunzea Pain Relief Cream to a 32% recycled plastic tube. We also launched our Kunzea Pain Relief Cream (Bulk Size) to help reduce the amount of packaging we put out into the world. Our design team also uncovered other ways to reduce packaging such as screen printing labels instead of sticker labels which means less packaging produced, as well as increased recyclability of packaging.

We are constantly striving to ensure most of our promotional material and leaflets are made from 100% recycled material, and that our product packaging, cartons, shipping boxes and marketing materials are as environmentally friendly as possible.

We have Zea staff work from their homes all up and down the east coast of Australia. By providing them with the equipment they need to work remotely, we are able to cut down on our own personal travel and use of commercial resources.

Whenever possible, Zea sources from local suppliers. This helps create jobs and thriving local communities. The bulk of our suppliers are environmentally friendly, producing organic products and goods, using sustainable farming methods and eco-friendly production practices. 

Many of our farmers, manufacturers and suppliers are committed to sustainable farming and fair trade practices. These farmers do not use artificial fertilisers, pesticides or GMOs when harvesting crops. Many of our suppliers are also COSMOS and cGMP certified, ensuring the quality and sustainability of all ingredients, so we can produce natural products that benefit people and reduce the impact on our planet.
