The Best Eco-Friendly Cookies in Australia (And How They're Made)
Sugar Rush by Steph Eco Friendly Banner

We love two things here at Sugar Rush by Steph: making tasty, custom cookies and doing it sustainably. More people want eco-friendly options, events, and ethical corporate gifts. We are proud to offer quality products and quality cookies that taste great and do good, too.

Here's how we're baking a difference with eco-friendly practices across our ingredients, packaging, and power sources.

Locally Sourced Ingredients

We work closely with Australian suppliers to source our ingredients locally wherever possible. Choosing local helps reduce transport emissions, supports small producers, and ensures fresher, better-quality ingredients in every batch.

It also helps us keep full transparency about what is in our cookies. Explore our cookie collections here.

Waste Reduction: From Eggshells to Efficiency

In our kitchen, we don’t just bake smart, we manage waste smart, too. We collect and compost eggshells.

This turns potential waste into nutrient-rich material. We run a made-to-order system, which means no excess bakes and minimal food waste overall. Good waste management is important for a sustainable bakery in Australia.

Did you know? We compost over 5,000 eggshells each month! A small detail, but it adds to a significant impact.

Recyclable & Reusable Packaging

 

Sugar Rush by Steph Recyclable Packaging

We use certified compostable or recyclable packaging material for all our cookie orders. Every cookie is heat-sealed to stay fresh for up to 8 weeks.

They are packed with materials that will break down naturally, and won’t sit in a landfill for years. For seasonal releases and bulk gifting, we also offer reusable containers that customers can repurpose at home. It's our way of keeping things functional and environmentally responsible is effective.

Our clients often tell us that Sugar Rush by Steph's environmentally friendly packaging showed great thought. We love seeing our customers reuse our seasonal containers as well!

Renewable Energy & Electric Appliances

Our bakery uses solar energy and generates more power than we consume during the summer. By running a fully electric kitchen (no gas), we can keep our emissions low while staying efficient. We now use an electric vehicle for local deliveries to the post office and suppliers. This helps reduce the carbon footprint of every cookie that leaves our kitchen.

Controlling energy consumption is important for lowering greenhouse gas emissions. As a company, we focus on sustainability. We always look for renewable energy sources for our daily operations.

Why It Matters

Choosing an eco-conscious cookie supplier might seem like a small step, but every choice counts. Supporting sustainable businesses makes a difference. You can do this whether you are placing a large corporate order or sending a special gift.

Sugar Rush by Steph always seeks new ways to improve. We focus on sustainable packaging and plan for carbon offsetting. Get in touch to start your sustainable cookie order!
