Why We’ve Moved Away from Labels on Our Olive Oil Packaging

At Great Southern Groves, we’re always looking for ways to reduce waste and make more sustainable choices in how we package our extra virgin olive oil.

One small change that makes a big difference? Moving away from adhesive labels.

Most labels are supplied on a silicone-coated backing paper. While it does its job in production, this backing is not recyclable and goes straight to landfill. It’s a hidden waste stream that most people never see, but for every single label applied, there’s an equivalent strip of backing discarded behind the scenes.

By switching to preprinted packaging, we’ve eliminated that waste entirely. No labels, no backing, no unnecessary landfill.

It’s a simple shift, but one that aligns with our commitment to more sustainable olive oil production here in Australia.
