About Us: Aussie Impact
Aussie Impact is a sustainable online marketplace based in Mt Crosby, Queensland. We deliver Australian fruit, vegetables and food to your door.
​
We’re Committed to Real Sustainability - Environmental, Ethical and Economic
​
Passionate about sustainability, we set out to develop an alternative market for the 30% of produce grown which does not meet the ‘buy appeal’ criteria of supermarket chains. In doing so, we created a process which not only supports farmers with a fair return for their effort, but also gives back to our customers by providing high-quality produce at a competitive price.
This solution is achieved by ‘Integrated Coordination’ of all steps in the food supply chain with strong focus on:
​
-
Limited handling
-
Cost reductions
-
Greater shelf life
-
Decreased waste
Our Recycling Process
​
The delivery and packaging processes developed by Aussie Impact utilise environmentally friendly solutions to sustain the shelf life of your delivery.
Your Delivery
Your Aussie Impact delivery will arrive in a polystyrene box with a cold source included to protect the fruit and vegetables. When we deliver your next box of produce, we will recover the box from the previous delivery. This gives us the opportunity to recover all the packaging that we use. We also have an arrangement with the manufacturer of the polystyrene boxes which ensures all damaged and broken boxes can be recycled into new boxes.
What about other packaging?
The hydrocarbon based plastics can be used as a food source to the larval stages of a small number of moths. Those larva can then be used as a food source for fish in either aqua culture or aquaponics. While the starched based plastics we use can be broken down in the composting process to become a source of nutrients for crops.
