Taiao-friendly by 2027

While we currently use BPA-free tritan plastic, we acknowledge its impact on the environment. In the meantime, we hope your HUE supports you to reduce single-use plastic bottles.

We are actively researching more sustainable alternatives, with a commitment in place to transition our bottles to taiao-friendly materials by 2027 or earlier if we are able to.

Sign up to our newsletter or follow us on social media for updates on our progress.

Our materials

HUE Bottle (Hauhake 1) is designed to be transparent, allowing visibility of water levels to support our mission of encouraging healthy habits and increasing the visibility of te reo Māori.

This first edition is crafted from BPA-free Tritan plastic. Tritan is free of harmful chemicals, as it is made without:

  • Bisphenol compounds like BPA and BPS
  • Phthalates, halogens, and chlorine
  • Estrogenic and androgenic activity

Our Taiao Initiative Fund

We’re committed to supporting sustainability initiatives in Aotearoa. A portion of all HUE Bottle sales goes towards our Taiao Initiative Fund, which supports non-profits and organisations who are working to protect Papatūānuku.

We plan to begin distribution in our second year of operations and will publish updates on this fund to ensure transparency.
