Introduction At Keraplast, we are committed to sustainability and regenerative practices. Our goal is to create products that not only benefit consumers but also contribute positively to the environment. By sourcing wool from regeneratively farmed sheep and adopting eco-friendly practices, we aim to go beyond sustainability and become a truly regenerative business. This article explores our commitment to sustainability and the regenerative practices we employ in keratin production.
Regenerative Wool Farming Keraplast sources wool from sheep that are farmed regeneratively in New Zealand. This approach ensures that the wool is produced sustainably, with a focus on enhancing the health of the land and the wellbeing of the sheep. Regenerative farming practices improve soil health, increase biodiversity, and reduce carbon emissions, making it an integral part of our sustainability strategy.
Beyond Sustainability Sustainability aims to maintain the status quo, but at Keraplast, we strive for regeneration. Our vision is to create a business that gives back more than it takes, positively impacting the environment and society. This involves redesigning our business practices to focus on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) elements, ensuring our operations are beneficial at every level.
Eco-Friendly Production Processes Our keratin extraction process is designed to be gentle and eco-friendly. By avoiding extreme chemical and thermal processes, we ensure that our keratin proteins remain bioactive while minimising environmental impact. This approach not only produces high-quality products but also supports our commitment to sustainability.
