Keraplast’s keratin ingredients are renowned for their effectiveness and are utilised in a broad range of applications, from skincare and haircare products to dietary supplements.

The company sources its ingredients from the wool of regeneratively farmed New Zealand sheep, a key component of Keraplast’s sustainability strategy. 

Regenerative farming offers numerous environmental benefits, such as improved soil health, increased biodiversity, carbon sequestration, and enhanced water management. 

By promoting these practices, Keraplast not only sustains but actively enhances the environment, addressing many of today’s pressing environmental challenges. 

Keraplast’s commitment to sustainable and ethical practices further solidifies its leadership in the market.

“The Prime Minister was impressed to see how we are substantially adding value to strong wool with over $130/kg of wool processed and he acknowledged Keraplast’s commitment to sustainability through adopting the Net Positive model championed by his former company Unilever,” Howard Moore concluded.
