Why Primal By Nature Uses Glass Jars
In the realm of luxury consumables, every detail matters. From the meticulous sourcing of ingredients to the final presentation, each element contributes to the overall experience. For Primal By Nature, an award-winning Mānuka honey brand, this commitment to excellence extends to our packaging. We understand that our premium New Zealand honey deserves a vessel that not only preserves its inherent qualities, but also reflects its exceptional nature. This is why we exclusively use glass for our retail-ready Mānuka honey products. Today, we delve into our decision to cast away the plastic alternatives and incorporate a packaging method that’s driven by Primal by Nature’s dedication to purity, luxury and sustainability. The Science Behind The Glass At the heart of Primal by Nature’s philosophy is the unwavering pursuit of purity. Our Mānuka honey, harvested from the pristine landscapes of New Zealand, is a testament to nature’s artistry. To protect its integrity, we rely on the inherent properties of glass. Unlike other materials, glass is inert - which means it doesn’t react with the honey it contains. This is crucial for preserving the delicate compounds and the crucial MGO (methylglyoxal) rating that defines the purity of our luxury Mānuka honey. Consider the alternative. Plastic, for instance, has the unlikely yet possible risk of leaching chemicals into the honey - potentially altering its composition and compromising the quality. This is unacceptable for a product as precious as our premium New Zealand honey. On the other hand, glass provides a steadfast barrier that ensures the honey remains untouched by external factors. Furthermore, glass is also proven to offer superior protection against moisture, oxygen and odours. These elements, if allowed to permeate, can degrade the honey’s flavour, aroma and therapeutic properties. The darker glass shade of Primal’s jars also provides ample protection from UV light. Light, in particular ultraviolet (UV) light, carries the risk of degrading the quality of honey. By using a darker glass shade, we shield our Mānuka honey from these harmful rays and further preserve the flavour. These are just some of the scientific benefits to encasing our award-winning Mānuka honey in glass jars - creating an environment that maintains its pristine condition and ensuring that every spoonful delivers the full spectrum of nature’s benefits. Luxury Aesthetics That Enhance Customer Experience Beyond its functional advantages, glass embodies a sense of luxury that reflects the Primal by Nature brand. The visual appeal of the glass jar is undeniable. Its clarity allows customers to appreciate the rich, golden hue and thick, viscous texture of our award-winning Mānuka honey. This transparency reinforces the authenticity of our product, building trust and confidence among our discerning customers. The tactile experience of holding a glass jar also contributes to the overall sense of luxury. The weight and smoothness of a glass jar creates a feeling of substance and refinement, elevating the simple act of enjoying honey into a sensory indulgence. This attention to detail is a hallmark of Primal by Nature, reflecting our commitment to providing a truly exceptional experience. When a customer selects a retail-ready Mānuka honey product from Primal by Nature, they’re not merely buying a jar of honey; they’re investing into a piece of nature’s finest. The glass jar simply serves as a tangible representation of this investment - a symbol of the quality and craftsmanship that defines our brand. Sustainability and Environmental Considerations In an era of increasing environmental awareness, sustainability is a core principle at Primal by Nature. Glass, being a naturally derived and infinitely recyclable material, aligns perfectly with our eco-conscious values. In New Zealand, environmental stewardship isn’t a trend. This concept of treating our environment with deep respect is an ingrained cultural value. As a nation intrinsically connected to our pristine landscapes, we hold ourselves to exceptionally high environmental standards. Businesses across New Zealand are expected to operate with a profound respect for the natural world - and for Kiwis, producing products that are kind to the environment that offered its ingredients is a matter of national pride. The Mānuka tree, the very source of our honey, thrives in a delicate ecosystem that we are committed to protecting. By choosing glass, we are not only ensuring the purity of our honey but also honouring the land that sustains it - reflecting the broader Kiwi ethos of guarding our environment. Unlike plastic, which can take centuries to decompose, glass can be recycled without losing quality. By using glass jars for our premium New Zealand honey we are minimising our environmental footprint and contributing to a circular economy. We also encourage our customers to reuse their glass jars, finding creative ways to repurpose them in their homes. This not only reduces waste, but also extends the life cycle of our packaging. Primal by Nature is committed to responsible practices that protect the environment and preserve the natural resources that make our Mānuka honey possible. Our decision to use glass jars is a testament to this commitment, reflecting a dedication to both quality and sustainability.
