SPOS Sustainable Packaging
SPOS are part of the Australian Packaging Covenant Organisation and we have an ongoing commitment and goal to reduce packaging waste from our distributed products within Australia.
Mission
To reduce packaging waste from our products that are delivered to stores by optimising packaging, using the right packaging materials for the product at hand, and encouraging return of packaging where possible.
Vision
Our vision is to create a sustanable packaging option for all of our products where at all possible to reduce our impact on the environment.
Return Your Packaging
We encourage all our customers to return their packaing for their datastrips to our warehouse for re-use.
Please return your empty datastrip boxes (minimum 5 boxes) to:
