Products From New Zealand.com - the widest selection of quality, authentic New Zealand made, personal & corporate gifts, promotional marketing products, at wholesale & retail prices, covered by a 365 day money back warranty Zero waste policies in place...

roducts From New Zealand.com, it's founding leader, Kristina Cope, and her staff are committed to the following:

  • "I pledge allegiance, in my heart and soul, to the concepts of honesty, integrity, and quality in business. I recognize that the cornerstone of success is treating all stakeholders fairly, with compassion, and with a commitment to service. Working from abundance, I recognize that even my competitors can become important allies. I will not tolerate crooked practices in my business, from co-workers, direct or indirect reports, supervisors, managers, suppliers, or anyone else—and if I encounter such practices, I will refuse to go along with them and report them to appropriate authorities within and outside the company. I pledge to support the "triple bottom line" of environmental, social, and financial responsibility. And I pledge to participate in a serious effort to focus the business community on these principles, by sharing this message with all of our stakeholders (you - our customers, our manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors and independent representatives here in New Zealand and throughout the world), at every opportunity I can."
  • Working towards zero waste, providing a sustainable future for New Zealand, and encouraging our ten's of thousands of customers worldwide, to also be responsible with the packaging material we ship with all of our goods.

    In March 2002 the 'Ministry for the Environment', New Zealand, released the National Waste Strategy: 'Towards Zero Waste and a Sustainable New Zealand'.
    This document was created with input from a wide range of people involved in New Zealand's waste industry.

    New Zealand is the first country in the world to have formally adopted Zero Waste.

    • Waste is a cost, and cost reductions enhance the bottom line.
    • Becoming more efficient makes good business sense.
    • Waste equals lost profits.

    When cardboard is mixed with other materials and sent to landfill it ends up costing a business about USD$200 per tonne, but when it is recycled it will only cost the business USD$20 per tonne.
    It costs around USD$500 to dump a tonne of screwed up paper (in rubbish bags), compared with USD$20-30 per tonne to recycle flat paper.

    Products From New Zealand.com - the widest selection of quality, authentic New Zealand made, personal & corporate gifts, promotional marketing products, at wholesale & retail prices, covered by a 365 day money back warranty All of our electricity and heating needs are generated by the sun...

    Products From New Zealand.com extensively uses energy efficient lamps throughout the office and all electrical power for our office is generated by the sun, using photovoltaic modules on the roof of our premises in a utility grid intertie setup. If we generate more electricity than we are currently using, our power meter spins backwards and gives us a credit to then use at night time, or when the day is cloudy and overcast.. This means we do not have environmentally un-sound batteries to maintain.

    All our hot water needs are also provided by the sun, with hotwater radiators scattered throughout the office to provide a warm and toasty environment during those cold winter months...

    This means that our office uses on average about 2kWh of electricity a day to run, whereas the average office of similar size and number of computers/printers/servers etc would use around 5 times this much per day to operate.

    All new computer monitors purchased are LCD display, and all machines are powered down every night to save power, and reduce 'phantom loading'.
