Anika Natural Products is Going Greener

Anika Natural Products is one of Australia’s leading contract manufacturers of natural and organic handcrafted soaps and personal care products. Our commitment to the industry has been further increased with our relocation to one of Australia’s first fully certified eco industrial estates. The first of a kind industrial estate based at Stapylton Queensland, has been awarded the full six EnviroDevelopment symbols for its certification by the Urban Development Institute of Australia (UDIA)

The estate includes in house water treatment and sewage systems, a water catchment and treatment system comprising of six 45 000 underground water storage tanks. Recycled building material has been used where ever possible, all buildings walls and roofs are insulated and face north, maximising day light and reducing energy consumption by the reduction of required lighting.

The estate buildings incorporate energy efficient lighting and street lighting, water pumps and recycling systems are all run by solar power that is grid connected, which will eventually provide enough energy to feed excess power back to into the supply grid.

This estate will only benefit Anika Natural Products and its production partners for the future as more and more emphasis is raised on the importance of sustainability, energy consumption and carbon neutral businesses. We are extremely proud to be involved with Australia’s first carbon neutral industrial estate and look forward to continuing Australia’s fantastic green and clean image.
