Our Company
The Pacific Hygiene Story: It began in a garage…
Pacific Hygiene Ltd exemplifies a commitment to environmental stewardship and corporate integrity within the hygiene industry. Founded in 1992 and proudly 100% New Zealand-owned, we prioritise sustainability in all aspects of our operations.
From the outset, our mission has been twofold: to provide essential hygiene solutions across Australasia while safeguarding our natural heritage for future generations. We have embarked on a journey of tangible environmental initiatives aimed at reducing our ecological footprint and promoting sustainable practices.
We have planted 600m² of native flora at our Head Office in Albany, embracing our commitment to native biodiversity preservation. Additionally, we are transitioning our vehicle fleet to hybrid models, with a future goal of incorporating electric vehicles, demonstrating our commitment to sustainable transportation practices.
Furthermore, we have implemented energy-efficient measures such as the use of rechargeable forklifts, timer-controlled air conditioning, and LED lighting, contributing to reduced energy consumption and environmental impact. Our focus on water conservation extends to installing sump filters in stormwater drains and utilising half-flush toilet cisterns.
In our pursuit of waste reduction, we have diverted 5,000kg of single-use plastic from landfill through recycling initiatives and the use of recyclable materials in our products. Moreover, our commitment to employee education fosters a culture of environmental responsibility, ensuring that sustainability remains a cornerstone of our organisational ethos.
Collaborations with organisations like Ekos and SMETA not only enable us to measure, reduce, and offset our carbon footprint but also ensure our practices meet rigorous social and ethical standards, aligning with our goal of carbon neutrality.
With over 80 years of combined experience among our senior staff, we intimately understand the market conditions and economic drivers within Australasia, allowing us to protect the interests of our customers while advancing our sustainability goals.
Our diverse product range, including toilet and facial tissue systems, hand towel systems, and 100% recycled tissue products, caters to a broad industry base across Australasia. From public and private hospitals to government departments and internationally recognised businesses, our products meet the unique requirements and standards of our distributors.
With a steadfast commitment to environmental stewardship and a dedication to providing high-quality hygiene solutions, we continue to lead by example, driving positive change for our planet and future generations.
