Sustainability

SUSTAINABILITY POLICY

How to balance growing a profitable business with the protection of our planet is one of our greatest challenges.

We take the position that if it's good for the planet, it’s good for our business and genuinely believe we can become an effective platform for inspiring, educating and creating positive change in the world.

We’re interested in collaborating with partners who share our vision for responsible growth with as little impact on the planet as possible. Luckily we already have a pretty special plant to help us.

PLASTIC FREE WHERE POSSIBLE

We pack using recycled and recyclable cardboard and wrap our shipments in biodegradable wrap and reusable pallets. We don’t use plastic fillers or bubble wrap. We do have plastic in our Gummies tub, something we are currently tied to due to government law. We're working on a more sustainable solution for this.

INFINITELY RECYCLABLE

All our aluminium cans and outer packaging are infinitely recyclable. Our Oil tictures and Gummies packaging can also be recycled with the rest of your household waste. We're working harder to bring you 100% hemp packaging in the future.

PRESERVATIVE FREE

Our products are paraben and preservative free to avoid bioaccumulation in the water system.

100% VEGAN

Our Vitamin D3 is provided naturally by green microalgae, rather than lambswool, and we don't use animal gelatin in our gummies.

PAPERLESS

Goodrays is as paperless as possible. While some of our suppliers require paperwork, we avoid using paper in our operational materials and packaging materials. It may seem small but paper accounts for 26% of total landfill waste. Most of us have phones.

OUR GOALS

MINIMUM WASTE

CBD brands limit the use of the hemp plant to a singular cannabinoid. We’re committed to maximizing our use of the plant, flavouring our products with rich terpenes, extracting the functional cannabinoids of the leaves, enriching products with seed nutrients and using the fibre for our apparel.

HEMP APPAREL

Hemp is a non-water intensive, soil-enriching and more efficient alternative to cotton. There are some amazing hemp textile manufacturers that are producing innovative alternative materials for the automotive industry, high-end fashion industry and even the space industry. Currently the lack of large-scale production has made it difficult to offer a fair priced alternative to our organic cotton products. If you have a solution, reach out to us.

GREEN SHIPPING

Fuel emissions and pollution from tire wear is damaging our air quality and contributing to climate change. We’re speaking to more eco-friendly shippers, however there remains a series of challenges when shipping delicate and heavy packages like beverages. If you’re a green shipping supplier, we’d love to speak with you.

PEOPLE POLICY

Sustainability is also about people, ensuring their needs are met without compromising the health of future generations. Goodrays is an equal opportunity employer and offers employee management incentive schemes. We’re also looking to partner with nonprofits supporting social and mental health causes as well as environmental issues.

HOW SUSTAINABLE IS HEMP?

Hemp is more than just the plant that produces CBD, it is one of the most useful and valuable plants that has ever existed on our planet. The seeds and fiber can be processed to make eco-friendly alternatives to modern necessities such as concrete, plastics, fuels and textiles, all of which rank among the most polluting industries in history.
