Sustainability and production

our Kochii Oil is produced from a sustainable process that has a net positive impact on the environment

Kochii Eucalyptus Oil is passionate about sustainability, the environment and nurturing the land. We are proud of our production process and its complete sustainability.

Kochii eucalypt not only flourishes in a harsh semi-arid regions, but also regrows after being harvested. Plantings re-grow (“coppice”) after harvesting for approximately two to three years before being ready to harvest again. This facilitates a sustainable supply of trees on a rotational basis whilst providing other benefits to the natural environment.

The unique oil is produced from a process with a net positive impact on the surrounding environment, making it extremely sustainable.

The trees themselves protect the farmland in this ancient landscape from wind erosion and desertification, and remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
The steaming process for oil extraction is powered by burning waste leaf from previous extractions. This is a ‘closed carbon cycle’, with the subsequent regrowth drawing carbon again out of the atmosphere.

Water used for steaming and for cooling is continually recycled through the production process. The species grown is actually local to the region, so a wide range of animals, insects and fungi utilise the plantings. There have been many sightings of echidna diggings!
