Green Cred

We treat water as preciously as our wine. Going green, for us, is not about a colour preference. It's a top to bottom commitment to leaving the lightest possible footprint.

Sirromet is at the forefront of environmentally sustainable wine production, and the same principles of energy conservation, waste recycling, and responsible water use span our operations - from restaurant to production to product packaging.

Right from the day its doors opened, Sirromet has been determined to be at the forefront of environmentally sustainable wine production.

Within just 10 years, Sirromet has managed to compile an impressive list of ‘green' credentials in areas such as responsible water use, waste recycling, energy conservation, revegetation and environmental preservation, wildlife management and conservation, and eco friendly farming and tourism design.

One of Sirromet's key successes has been its ability to significantly reduce it's dependence on mains water, by collecting andprocessing rainwater for both potable and ‘grey' water, by closely monitoring and reducing water consumption, by recycling wastewater, and by using ‘grey' (dam) water for irrigation and wherever else it is possible.

In tackling waste management, Sirromet has set up a system in which all ‘green' waste is collected from the restaurant, gardens, and winery (skins, stems, leaves, seeds, etc) and - along with cardboard and paper waste - fed to an onsite worm farm for composting and later use as fertiliser. Plastic and glass waste is also collected but removed offsite for recycling

For energy conservation, Sirromet has been adopting many of the latest technologies and innovations to increase efficiency and help minimise waste. From smarter refrigerating systems, to alternative hot water sources, gravity feeding systems (rather than pump), and experiments with low carbon ‘bottling' materials such as PET (recyclable plastic) as an alternative to glass.

With future ‘green' projects always in the works - such as wind and solar energy development - and with its ongoing investment of time and money, Sirromet's commitment to the environment will continue to look bright for some time to come.

How we minimise waste, and employ an army of hundreds of thousands who simply love having crap thrown at them to help us fully recycle all waste - none of which goes into the bay or mains sewage system.

We collect it, store it, and never waste it. In a drying climate, we are already independent of mains water supply.
