MOD Packaging Update
At MOD, we are passionate about good health and love finding new ways to help our community feel their absolute best. We believe that healthy people and a healthy planet go hand in hand, which is why we have redesigned our packaging to make you proud of your purchase. According to the most up-to-date statistics, 3.5 million tonnes of plastics are consumed in Australia every year (Australian Government, 2018-19 Australian Plastics Recycling Survey). This is resulting in drastic consequences for our planet. Whilst it's a huge challenge to address, even small changes in behaviour can reduce our impact. It can be as simple as taking a reusable coffee cup next time you grab your takeaway coffee.
If you have purchased a MOD Cold Press Juicer recently you may have noticed something a little different about our packaging. Our unboxing experience stands out from the crowd…and for good reason. We are well aware that in the appliance industry, products often come wrapped up in all sorts of plastic. Whilst this can be important, it is often single use and results in a source of unnecessary waste.
In 2019 we decided to look at the packaging status quo with fresh eyes. We had a goal of creating sustainable packaging for our juicer that did not compromise its security during transit. As a result, we are proud to say that we have reduced the amount of plastic packaging by 95% in less than 12 months.
We did this by replacing the protective, plastic bag around the juicer base with our popular reusable jute bag that is also biodegradable and compostable. We have also replaced the plastic packaging that was once used to protect other parts of the juicer with biodegradable paper. Lastly, we have switched out our drink flask for a 100% glass bottle. MOD is now on track for our juicer packaging to be 100% plastic-free and biodegradable by 2022. We are planning to make similar changes to our blender and accessories packaging over the next 12 months.

"When we started questioning why appliances are packed with so much plastic, we found much of it was unnecessary"
MOD Appliances
MOD is also a strong advocate for reducing produce waste in the home
Both our appliances allow customers to utilise excess or aged fruit or vegetables that would have otherwise been thrown away. We also challenge and encourage our customers to re-use their juice pulp wherever possible. We have a huge range of recipes easily available on our website including muffins, pasta sauces and even dog biscuits. This means that the entire process of blending or juicing can become entirely waste-free with MOD.
