Goodsnet Holdings Ltd

Packaging plays a critical role in product safety, shelf life, compliance, and sustainability. Goodsnet’s Packaging Standards are designed to balance environmental responsibility with commercial and food-safety realities.

Packaging First, Sustainability Second — Not the Other Way Around

Our priority is ensuring products arrive safe, stable, and compliant. Sustainable outcomes must not compromise:

• Food safety
  
• Shelf life
  
• Product integrity
  

Material Considerations

Where practical, Goodsnet encourages:

• Recyclable or widely accepted materials
  
• Reduced unnecessary secondary packaging
  
• Fit-for-purpose packaging matched to product type
  

We recognise that some categories require higher-barrier materials to ensure safety and longevity.

Inks, Adhesives & Coatings

Packaging components should:

• Be suitable for food-contact environments where applicable
  
• Avoid unnecessary metallic, composite, or non-recyclable layers unless functionally required
  

On-Pack Disposal Guidance

Where recycling or disposal instructions are used, they must:

• Be accurate for the New Zealand market
  
• Avoid misleading environmental claims
  

Continuous Improvement

Packaging standards evolve. Goodsnet works with brand partners to improve packaging outcomes over time, rather than making unrealistic or immediate sustainability demands.
