πŸ₯³ It's been a little time coming!! And it's pretty obvious we don't just make rye straws 🀣

Warm welcome to @ourcompostablejourney πŸ’šπŸͺ±πŸ›

In March 2019, we moved to South Australia as part of a new entrepreneurship program and embarked on the journey of launching Australia's first straw, organically grown and made in South Australia.

In 2020 we launched our first ever production, a very proud moment ❀️

In March 2021 we launched a new ecommerce website specialised in home compostable packaging to replace single use plastic.

In December 2021, we were confident enough to introduce a small range of certified gloves, bin liners, produce bags and different types of straws.

2022 saw the launch of our first @compostablealternatives branded products with a cling wrap and very soon a coffee cup and lid!

Along the journey we became what you can call "zero waste entrepreneurs".

Now only do we live and breath our business and its values, we also discovered a passion for composting, growing our own food and helping others to reduce waste to landfill.

Everything started while we were living in our camper van and learnt happiness can be very minimalist.

After a year realising our dream of going around Australia in 2019, limiting the impact waste has on the environment became a driver and Mister RYE a trigger.

We've grown, we've learned, we've persisted.

Stay tuned for more adventures on:
πŸ‘«our journey as entrepreneurs and the different projects we're involved in
πŸ›our urban composting experience
πŸ₯¬πŸŸhow we grow our own food in our home made urban garden and aquaponic system
πŸ‚our new packaging innovations
βœ…what we're learning on waste management and its best practice
🚜our adventures on the farm that we support

We can't wait! πŸŒΏπŸ’š

Just came back from 4 days at the organic farm and a full reset retreat πŸ§˜πŸΌβ€β™€οΈπŸ₯¬πŸ§€πŸ“πŸπŸ•πŸ‡πŸŽ

Being in nature is the best retreat for me. At the farm we have time to think, reflect, organise while taking care of thousands of chooks, ducks, dogs, donkeys, rabbits, goats, lambs and now horses too πŸ₯°

What i love about being on the farm is things do not matter.

Its ok to forget, to make mistakes, to break something, to take too long, life is gentle and calm.

Days go by sunrises and sunsets.

Caring for animals, caring for the land, caring for what is present.

Fueling your mind and body with delicious organic produces, sleeping early, enjoying a chat, breaking up with the digital world.

What is your reset technique?

Alert 🚨New products launching!!! (and on their way!)

Manufacturing products in Australia is hard enough, but bringing in innovations that cannot be made in Australia for the moment is another level πŸ˜‚

πŸ“This is where are our new products (the big dot) right now!

We’ve been waiting for those new products for months!

And tracking them online for the past few weeks (this digital map is incredible)

All the dots are ships! (And when you zoom out, there are 100 of thousands of ships)

The past 6 months have been quiet on the Ig front but super busy in the background

I will soon be telling you what is happening! (And make a dedicated post on that 😊)

Watch out for what’s coming next with @compostablealternatives πŸ‘πŸ˜Š
