Waste
Bob & Pete’s try to minimise any excess raw material from production however; where we can’t further process raw material we instead collect for organic waste to distribute to farms around NSW for stock feed.
Bob & Pete’s make no financial gain from recycling practices, our goal is simply to reduce our footprint.
Reducing Waste
The focus is on reducing and avoiding waste and placing as much as possible back into the recycling streams. We are taking part in an industry Think Tank driven by the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) - "Bread and Bakery Sector Action Plan" to develop ideas around waste reduction.
In line with the EPA initiative, Bob & Pete’s practices responsible recovery and recycling of packaging throughout the product lifecycle.
We have a strict process in place to ensure we uphold our commitment of no food to landfill policy.

Recycling Waste
Since 2009, we have implemented a recycling policy that practices proper waste disposal.
All paper waste is processed through our comparator which is then collected by Paper Resource for further recycling and conversion into reusable products which are sent back in to the consumable market.

Recovering Waste
We are committed to waste recovery and attempt to reuse our boxes at least three times prior to sending it for recycling. Our drivers make every effort to bring boxes back and receive a cash incentive to return them.
Our goal is to reduce the environmental impact of packaging within our facility and post product delivery, in order to minimise our footprint.
