How will my goods come packaged?

All of our bulk products repacks are packed into our environmentally friendly 100% compostable packaging. Simply remove the tin tie (as this is metal) and add the empty bag to your compost. We recommend shredding/cutting the bag into smaller pieces when adding to your home compost, in order to assist the composting process.

Non-bulk product repacks come in the manufacturers packaging. Orders are packed into recycled cardboard cartons.

How long does it take for the compostable packaging to break down?

Our tin tie bags are certified to break down completely to natural elements within 90 days when sent to a commercial composter. This will ensure that the packaging is exposed to the correct levels of light, moisture and oxygen.

Our bags are also compostable in a home compost. How quickly they break down depends on how well the compost is tended to. We recommend shredding/cutting the bags into smaller pieces prior to adding it to your home compost, in order to assist the break-down process. 

Can I provide my own food containers to be filled up at Family Pantry, instead of using your packaging?

At Family Pantry we are all about avoiding wasteful packaging and plastic whenever we can. We are currently working on finalizing a process which enables customers to bring their own food containers and have them filled up at our HQ in Te Puke.
