SUPPORT CHAMPIONS
OUR SUPPORT PILLARS ARE INVALUABLE.
The people and companies who provide us with the goods, services, and extras that keep us rolling, are always striving to grow and improve themselves - some relentlessly in their quest to make the world a better place.
Following is a list of businesses who truly are Support Champions.
BETTER PACKAGING, NZ - much research with results!
POLLASTIC - a revolutionary range of packaging made from recycled Ocean bound plastic pollution rescued from coastal communities throughout Southeast Asia.
Carbon Footprint? - Independent Life Cycle Analysis has shown POLLAST!C mailers to be the lowest carbon form of packaging currently commercially available, with a significantly lower CO₂ footprint than a traditional plastic mailer - even less than 100% recycled paper!
Industry rewards and recognition. www.nz.betterpackaging.com
RE NB: Plastic-free remains the goal - moisture proofing always a challenge. Discovery - 'Ocean Bound Plastic' - plastic pollution rescued from nature certified to be at high risk of entering the ocean.
ECO-BAGS, NZ
Be the Change - we make solutions so we can all be the change and work toward a greener tomorrow. We walk the talk and do our bit to keep Aotearoa clean and green.
They fund trees through Trees that Count; create products from Ocean Bound Plastic; and lower their carbon emissions with Carbon Click support.

RE Nb: Everything else bags - additional packaging, to office size rubbish solutions.
LITTLE RED HOUSE - Planning Stationery; Education.
This lovely range of stationery is doing double-time in Roses Echo. Admiring her ability to organise the organisers! but also for supporting the community of artists that design for her.
Subsequently, not only do I use it myself - I also sell it.
www.littleredhouse.co.nz - to help you organise 2027 (wholesale queries).
RE Nb: Sadly Mojo Stationery - oh so sustainable, has moved on.
SHOPIFY, USA/NZ. - E-Commerce Platform,
The platform powering Roses Echo — and millions of stores worldwide. Shopify makes it possible for independent businesses like ours to get our message out into the world, quickly, beautifully, and reliably.
A genuine merchant-first platform, Shopify integrates seamlessly with the Shop app — a separately available shopping platform that puts your store in front of engaged buyers. Backed by round-the-clock live support and AI assistance, it's built to grow with you from day one. www.shopify.com
STICKER DOT, NZ - Label printing - logo marketing.
Barely a green word on site, yet small quantities and noticeable choices speak more. They do Kraft, small runs, and outside the Square.
A clear winner in their field, a greener alternative would pull through on the eco-scale - hard call as industry is machine-based and capital intensive. Wheels turn slowly - but technology changes. www.stickerdot.com
RE Nb: Years of hunting printers that use eco-friendly card and paper products has proved quite elusive, even in Auckland - vegetable dyes a no-go for far too long.
ZAPPY, NZ - Integrated Courier-provider service.
Speeds up process, smooths out the ruffles. Opt for greener couriers in their selection. Currently undergoing an eco-revamp. www.zappy.nz
SBN NZ - Sustainable Business Network
True Champions! - Echoing the works of many global leaders - educating, networking, and collaborating, to champion individuals and businesses toward their greenest potential - all delivered right to your NZ door. www.sustainable.org.nz
RE Nb: "No greenwashing here - all pure gold, in order that you can do the same.
