Covid-19 Coronavirus

All our products are made in our facility in Melbourne Australia – we only market products that we make. 

The Australian way is to come together during times of natural and economic crisis and support eachother. It is important to consider where a product is manufactured.

The actions of China in spreading the virus and pressuring countries to conform to their views is rightly leading to a reassessment of the source of supply for many retailers and consumers. It will be a test of character.

Palm Outdoor Australia's products are born of the spirit, the simple beauty and the toughness of the great outdoors. Our products are:

Beautiful

Our Marc Newson Drinkware and our Non-slip Plates and Bowls have both won prestigious Red Dot Design Awards (Essen, Germany) and Good Design Awards (Australia) and our Caffe Cup was awarded a Good Design Award (Chicago, USA)

Functional

- Many have our signature Non-slip Base

- Our Tumblers stack securely

- Most have exceptional stability

Better for the environment and better value

- Reuseable - all our products are reuseable 

- Most are covered by our Forever Unbreakable Guarantee and so are Reuseable Forever. Most will outlast ceramic and melamine 

- All are 100% Recyclable

- All are BPA-free and Melamine-free

We aim to be at the forefront of sustainable developments and will introduce advances as they become available

"Green-wash" solutions such a Bamboo and so-called compostable materials are avoided.

Australian Made, Australian Owned

All our products are made in our facility in Melbourne, Australia, which is certified to quality standard ISO 9001 and environment standard ISO14001. You can trust that there is no substitution of inferior materials.

Exported Worldwide to over 30 countries

The era when consumer markets are dominated by large top-heavy marketing and retail companies is changing rapidly. Their aim has been to buy cheap and sell expensively. This has led to reductions in functionality, quality and product life - feeding the throw-away society.   

Our focus is on our products and not the marketing. "Build a better mouse-trap and the world will beat a path to your door" (Ralph Waldo Emerson). Our structures are lean and our production automated. We can deliver a better product for the same price.

We continue to work hard to win the support of our customers the old fashioned way - through our products and service.

Sustainability is best achieved by

- Products lasting longer

- Products being 100% recyclable and not contaminating waste

- Products with lower energy from source to manufacture

Our approach is practical - no "greenwashing", no "virtue signalling"

Our premium products are Guaranteed to be Unbreakable Forever - demonstrating their long-life.

All our products are 100% recyclable.

Their beauty and functionality encourages use.

Our Caffe Cup replaces disposable coffee cups by enhancing the coffee experience

Our Non-slip dinnerware and new Kinder range replaces Melamine which is not recyclable, can break and chip, has higher embedded energy and contaminates recycling waste. IKEA has made a decision to phase out Melamine.

Our factory is certified to environment standard ISO14001 and produces with close to zero waste

Our commitment to sustainability is underlined by our industry-leading guarantee.

The way forward:

More long-life reusable products

More products that can be recycled

More use of recycled materials

No compostable products until they become feasible

Better labelling and better education of a product's environmental credentials

Both the Marc Newson Tritan Drinkware Collection and the Palm Non-slip Plate and Bowl Collection have won Red Dot Awards.

The Palm Caffe Cup won a Good Design Award from Chicago

Only products that set themselves apart through their excellent design receive these sought-after quality seals.

Patent on Butterfly Lid

Patent No.: US D843,167 S

Date 19/05/2019

The butterfly lid was developed to allow the free-flow of coffee and aroma - preserving the experience of an open cup. The usual sliders, buttons, flip flaps and spouts all constrict the flow and aroma and hot coffee is poured straight into your mouth. The butterfly lid allows the flow to be controlled by your lips, as you would when drinking from a cup.

Patent on Triple-Walled Cup with windows

Patent No.: US 10r30lrl0I B2 Date 28/05/2019

The triple-wall cup was developed to allow a window to be incorporated and to reduce the height of the cup by 30% compared to a double-wall cup. The advantages are that the coffee can be seen and the level judged, and the shorter height improves stability and allows fitment under an espresso or Nespresso machine.
