Proud Members of APCO 

United Pacific Industries (UPI), the Australian distributor of Sleep Doctor™, is a proud member of the Australian Packaging Covenant Organisation (APCO). APCO is a not-for-profit organisation that brings together businesses, government and industry to drive more sustainable packaging outcomes across Australia.

Our Commitment to Sustainable Packaging 

As part of our ongoing sustainability journey, Sleep Doctor is committed to: 

  • Using packaging that is fit for purpose and designed to minimise unnecessary material use 
  • Increasing the use of recyclable and responsibly sourced materials where possible 
  • Working with suppliers to continuously improve packaging design and efficiency 
  • Providing clearer recycling information to help consumers dispose of packaging correctly 
  • Reviewing and improving our packaging practices in line with APCO guidelines and targets 
Clear Recycling Information 

You may notice our packaging displaying the Australasian Recycling Label (ARL). What is the ARL? 

  • The Australasian Recycling Label (ARL) is an on-pack label that helps consumers to recycle right. 
  • The ARL explains if packaging belongs in the waste bin, the kerbside recycling, or can be recycled by following a simple instruction. It also shows how to recycle all parts of the packaging, like the lid or tray.  
  • The ARL is Australia’s only evidence-based recycling label, is trusted by hundreds of businesses around Australia, and appears on more than 500,000 products.  
  •  It’s also supported by Australian governments to make recycling easier.  
Continuous Improvement 

We recognise that sustainable packaging is an ongoing process. Sleep Doctor™is committed to continuous improvement and collaboration with industry partners to reduce packaging waste and support more sustainable practices over time.

You will find these symbols on our snoring relief products packaging: 

The ARL indicates“Recycle:Box”,“Dispose:Strip pack”and“Dispose: Bottle”. This means the cardboardboxcan be placed in your kerbside recycling bin, while thestrip pack backingand bottleshould be disposed of according to local waste guidelines.
