AYAM™ value our resources and environment, and believe that the whole product should be used in the process to limit waste. As part of this commitment, we are engaged in a long term production program to reduce waste and carbon footprint.
For our coconut range: our factory process the whole coconut (water, oil, milk and cream) and the only waste, the coconut shell, is collected and used for the burners to replace usual fossil energy, such as oil or gas.
In the case of our fish factory, we are working on special machinery that will process the rejects to produce Fish Hydrolyzed Protein for the pharmaceutical industry. We minimize packaging and work mostly with simple packaging material like tin, glass or paper, which are 100% recyclable.
The Australian Packaging Covenant (the Covenant) is a national regulatory framework under the National Environment Protection (Used Packaging Materials) Measure 2011 (NEPM) that sets out how governments and business across Australia share the responsibility for managing the environmental impacts of packaging.
A. Clouet Pty Ltd has been a proud APCO signatory since 2010. As members, we complete an annual Action Plan and Report, which helps to keep us accountable for improving our packaging sustainability every year. We are committed to implementing the Australasian Recycling Label (ARL) onto AYAM™ packaging to reduce confusion about recycling. The initiative provides clear information to consumers on how to recycle each component of the packaging.
