GROWING A BETTER NEW ZEALAND
We’ve made sustainability our business.
Mushrooms are, by nature, one of the world’s most sustainable and renewable foods. They’re ready to pick in days, require minimal natural resources and, thanks to their vertical shelf or tray growing method, achieve one of the best yields per square metre of land in the agricultural industry.
At Meadow Mushrooms, we’re inextricably linked to the land. The environment is an integral part of our business, which is why our commitment to sustainability guides our decision making every step of the way - from growing to packaging and everything in between.
Taking responsibility
for sustainability.
We’re always looking for better ways to grow, to recycle, reuse and regenerate. We’re committed to being sustainable - for now, and for tomorrow. Here are Meadow Mushrooms’ non-negotiable goals for a brighter future.
OUR SUSTAINABILITY GOALS
Small changes,
big impact.
How we package our mushrooms is just another way we can reduce carbon emissions, improve circularity and have a positive impact on the climate. We've made progress since 2015 - but there's more we can do.
SUSTAINABLE PACKAGING
GROWING A BETTER FUTURE
In-roads on the journey to carbon neutrality.
Making changes that have a positive impact on the planet is nothing new for us. In the last five years alone, we've eliminated 1,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions. But there is much more we are working on as we work towards our goal of becoming a Net Zero carbon producer.
THE CARBON JOURNEY
Not only are mushroom crops one of the most resource efficient in the world, but the mushroom growing process goes full circle. Our compost is made up of agricultural by-products, and the ‘spent’ compost goes back to local farmers to use as fertiliser for their crops. So, nothing goes to waste.
It’s all about regeneration.
