Relationships are everything.

One theme that emerged repeatedly while interviewing Tim and Richard of Altezano Brothers was an emphasis on the importance of people.

Whether that is sourcing and the long-term grower relationships in Latin America or the someone ordering an espresso, their approach centred around quality and consistency has built an enduring business.

This interview forms part of our Behind the Counter series, exploring the people, businesses and ideas shaping hospitality across Aotearoa.

Planning an event with a water station?

Whether it's a community event, school festival, sporting event or large-scale activation, opting for cups made from renewable materials helps reduce reliance on fossil fuel-derived plastics while supporting organics collection systems where services are available.

Our paper cups are suitable for both hot and cold beverages and are:

💦 FSC® MIX certified paperboard (FSC-C142978)
💦 Certified industrially compostable to AS 4736, EN 13432 and ASTM D6400
💦 Verified by ABA, DIN CERTCO and BPI

In Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland, Green Gorilla, Rubbish Direct, Reclaim - Serious About Recycling, Waste Management and EnviroNZ all offer organics collections that accept certified compostable packaging alongside food scraps.

We can provide samples, discuss event pricing and help identify appropriate end-of-life pathways based on your location and waste management setup. Reach out to [email protected].

Your packaging is often one of the most visible parts of your brand.

Many businesses invest heavily in their fit-out, signage and customer experience and branded packaging helps carry that investment beyond an establishment.

🥡 We offer customisation across a wide range of packaging, including clear cups, coffee cups, food containers, napkins, wooden cutlery, carry bags and greaseproof bags.

📐 Supply print-ready artwork from your designer or work with our in-house designer to prepare files for production.

📩 Subject to minimum order quantities. For further information, please reach out to [email protected]

Sugarcane packaging starts with a by-product.

Bagasse is the fibrous material left after sugarcane juice is extracted. Rather than being discarded, it can be moulded into durable food packaging suitable for takeaway and foodservice applications.

We offer a range of sugarcane products, including trays, plates, bowls and coffee cup lids, all:

🎋 Made from reclaimed sugarcane fibre
🏭 Certified industrially compostable to AS 4736 and ASTM D6400
🏡 Certified home compostable to AS 5810
🧪 Lab tested for no intentionally added PFAS

Sugarcane packaging is particularly well suited to systems where food scraps and compostable packaging can be collected together through organics services or managed through home composting.

If you're reviewing your current packaging, we're happy to share what works in practice and build a tailored packaging proposal based on your current requirements, email us: [email protected]

Because menus change and customer preferences shift, the packaging that worked for you 12 months ago may not be the right fit now.

Whether you're introducing new drinks, expanding takeaway options or reviewing suppliers, it's worth revisiting the packaging you're using across your business.

We're always happy to send samples and help you compare packaging solutions. Reach out at [email protected] 📩

What are your coffee cups made of?

Research published in the Journal of Hazardous Materials: Plastics found that elevated temperatures can accelerate surface degradation and microplastic release in PE-coated paper cups.

As more packaging enters the market, material choice—and verification—matters.

🌐 Our coffee cups are certified compostable to the AS 4736, EN 13432 and ASTM D6400 standards for industrial composting, verified by DIN CERTCO and BPI.

If you’re reviewing your current cup and lid setup, we’re happy to share what works in practice—across materials, compliance, and end-of-life outcomes. Email [email protected].

Most disposable coffee cup and takeaway container lids are made from polypropylene (PP, #5 plastic), largely due to cost and durability.

But research shows that when exposed to heat and repeated use, PP can degrade—releasing micro- and nanoplastic particles. These particles can also adsorb (carry) chemicals from their surrounding environment.

Material choice matters—especially for packaging designed for hot liquids.

🛢️ PP is derived from petrochemicals (fossil fuels).

🌽 Our bioplastic cup lids are made from crystallised PLA (CPLA). Heat and pressure are applied to improve heat resistance, making them suitable for hot drinks. They are certified industrially compostable to EN 13432 and ASTM D6400, verified by DIN CERTCO.

🎋 Our sugarcane lids are certified home compostable to AS 5810, aligned with the OK compost HOME programme.

🌽 Our bioplastic PLA container lids are certified to AS 4736 and EN 13432.

If you have questions about materials, performance, or end-of-life, drop them below or email [email protected]—we’re happy to help.

There’s a lot of noise right now around “which material is best.”

What we’re increasingly seeing is organisations aren’t asking “What’s the right decision across carbon, cost, compliance, and end-of-life?". Increasingly, procurement decisions are being shaped by:

– Scope 3 emissions targets
– procurement and reporting requirements
– the need for commercially viable outcomes

As a supplier, our role is to support better decision-making.

We participate in EcoVadis to provide transparency across our ESG performance, and as a Toitū Climate Positive organisation to measure and reduce our emissions.

Together, these frameworks support our customers in making informed procurement decisions—particularly where Scope 3 emissions and reporting are a factor.

Because with increasing accountability, organisations must ask❓ “What does that decision represent across our supply chain?”

If you’re working through packaging decisions tied to Scope 3 or ESG, we’re always open to sharing how we approach this. Email [email protected]
