NZ MADE DISH SOAP STIRS INTEREST

This month we have launched our New Zealand made plant-based soap bars.

We have removed all unnecessary ingredients and packaging to create a simple New Zealand made solid dish soap. 100% natural soap. Made in New Zealand.

✔️ NO nasties. NO detergent.

✔️ NO plastic bottles - 1 bar of Munch Dish Soap saves around four bottles of dish liquid!

✔️ Vegan friendly plant-based soap, made with coconut

✔️ GE free, cruelty free

One bar of Munch Dish Soap saves four bottles of dish liquid. No detergent means less bubbles so no need to rinse dishes - relieving you of this extra step! 

Munch solid soap bars have an ultra low impact on the environment. Natural soap is safer for our waterways and environment. Cruelty free and GE free.

“We are excited to launch another NZ made product this month!” says Anna Bordignon, Founder and Director of Munch. ”We’re all about helping Kiwis be more sustainable every day.”

You will find our Munch Dish Soap (and our Laundry Soap) at your local New World store, or order online direct from Munch here.

I am so pleased to bring on board Alex MacGibbon as my Sales and Marketing Manager. Alex is full of energy and positivism which I absolutely love and something many people don't have or have lost this spark. 

Alex is an experienced Sales and Marketing Manager and I am very excited to see how she will contribute to the growth of our brands.  She has already been writing many of our mailers (many have commented how great they are now - so it was not me but her!!).

Alex also has a strong interest in sustainability and has championed many sustainable events, advocacy and is constant source of knowledge in these areas.

I am sure many of you will meet her along the way. Welcome Alex!!

Make your proposal now!

The Munch Cupboard advocacy team have put forward our company proposal under this consultation process. Anna's past legal career means that our company loves to be part of important government changes with due respect to democracy (in fact one of Anna's dreams is to have a full team just working on advocacy projects!). Say no to plastics and let's be innovative kiwis and find other alternatives. Read more below and make your proposal as well.

Plastic has many uses in our lives yet it is polluting our land, lakes, rivers, streams and marine environment. The government wants New Zealand to move away from hard-to-recycle and single-use items. It has two proposals that would help us do that.

The first proposal is to phase out the following types of unrecyclable plastic. 

• Some polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and polystyrene packaging 
• All oxo-degradable plastic products. 

The second proposal is to phase-out seven types of single-use plastic items.

We are keen to hear your views on the proposals.

The consultation closes on 4 December 2020 at 5pm.
