At Orient, we recognize the ever-present environmental challenges around us and understand the growing importance of making eco-conscious choices in our business. That’s why we are committed to integrating sustainable practices into everything we do.

All of our products are carefully wrapped in 100% recycled tissue paper, and we offer the option of recycled paper carry bags. Alternatively, we encourage customers to bring their own reusable bags to help reduce waste.

We also repurpose materials whenever possible. The crates used to transport our tableware from Japan are given a second life as storage or for shipping large orders. Even the Japanese newspaper used to wrap our crockery is reused as protective packaging for customer orders. Due to our ceramics being fragile, we do have to use bubble wrap when shipping our online orders, but strive to use a minimal amount, as well as Ranpak - a recycled paper bubble wrap alternative.

In our ongoing commitment to sustainability, we continue to expand our giftware selection with a focus on supporting local New Zealand businesses. By sourcing products closer to home, we actively reduce our carbon footprint while partnering with companies that share our dedication to environmentally responsible practices.

At Orient, sustainability isn’t just an initiative—it’s a core value that guides our choices every day.
