HOW IS A PACKET OF WALLAROO MADE?
Join us as we take you on a journey that starts from the fields and ends with you
Where it all begins
Our products are grown in small community farms that have been looked after by the same families for generations.
When the fruit is perfectly ripe, it is harvested and moved to a state of the art BRCGS* certified drying facility located right next to the fields to ensure that only the freshest fruit is used and food waste during transportation is minimised.
(*BRCGS requires some of the highest standards of food safety in the world. You can read more about these here.)
State of the art drying
In the drying facility, the fruit is cut by hand and dried using sustainable solar power.
Using a technique that has come down from the Romans, the drying process ensures that nothing further needs to be added. No sugar, salt, preservatives or sulphites! Just pure natural organic goodness.
Packaging
The finished product is shipped from the processing centre via sea, keeping our carbon footprint to a minimum.
We use certified home compostable packaging or FSC certified paper packaging for all Wallaroo products. This means that our packaging does not contain any plastic and does not harm the environment.
Once packed, these are carefully stored and ready to be moved to stores!
On its way to you
Wallaroo is moved in large pallets to different stores where helpful store hands stack these on the shelf for you to pick.
If ordering online, the packets are collected and put into recyclable boxes and shipped out to you to enjoy!

Using the most technically advanced ideas in packaging
All Wallaroo products use a TUV OK Home compost certified wrapper that is designed to break down into water, carbon dioxide and bio- mass at low temperatures within a maximum of 26 weeks. This means that the wrappers can either be composted in a home or garden composter or disposed along with food waste as the wrappers carry the same certification as the food waste bin liners in the UK.
Our new mango packs are made from a high barrier 100% paper that comes from FSC & PEFC certified sources.
All our inner packs use only as much packaging as necessary. Our packs have been nominated for the ‘resource efficient pack of the year’ at the UK Packaging Awards.
Minimising additional outer packaging
Our outer cartons are made from a mix of FSC certified paper and are fully recyclable. These cartons are designed to protect the inner product packs, act as shelf ready display units and, be put on a pallet for transport. We do not therefore need or use any additional secondary or outer transport cartons for our products.
