Olsson’s Salt Company Sustainability Actions

Uses solar evaporation

Olsson’s says it makes its sea salt in South Australia using solar evaporation, which means seawater is left to dry in ponds using sunlight instead of heavy industrial heating. The company says the water is filtered through natural pond systems, then the salt is crystallised, washed, dried in the sun, and packaged. This is a simpler production method than many factory-based food processes, and the brand presents it as a lower-impact way to make salt.

Uses recycled block boxes

The company says its livestock block boxes are now made from 100% recycled, unbleached cardboard. It also says the cardboard can be safely eaten by livestock. This is a packaging change, not a full product redesign, but it does reduce the use of new paper and avoids bleaching. The brand presents this as part of its wider effort to improve the environmental side of its livestock products.

Runs livestock seminars

Olsson’s says it sponsors free ruminant nutrition seminars across Australia and offers a free advisory line for graziers. Ruminant nutrition is the study of how animals like cattle and sheep digest feed. The company says these sessions help farmers improve livestock feeding and manage issues such as dry feed. This is mainly an education and support activity for the agricultural sector.

Supports methane solutions

In a company profile, Olsson’s says it has been aware of methane reduction since the 1990s and wants to help provide methane solutions for grass-fed animals in Australia. Methane is a greenhouse gas that warms the planet. The company does not give a detailed emissions plan in the material provided, but it does show that it links part of its livestock work to lower-emission farming.

Uses local Australian ingredients

Olsson’s says it keeps creating products with native Australian ingredients, such as native plum salt and other mixed salts. It also says it works with Australian producers, including a collaboration with The Truffle Barn for a limited-edition truffle salt. This points to a local sourcing approach, although the company does not publish full supply chain details in the material provided.
