Theland’s lower carbon A2 β-casein pure whole milk (1L) is 100% Australian made and packed. It is sourced from 5 specialised dairy farms within the Goulburn and Murray Valleys Regions of Australia at South latitude 34°- 38°.

The cows are not housed or contained within barns.

They live outside on paddocks throughout the year, roaming freely under an average of over 2300 hours of sunshine each year.

The cows graze on a combination of fresh and conserved grass and pasture as their primary food source*.

*To ensure the ongoing health and welfare of the animals, supplementary feeding may be required.

Lower Carbon Initiatives

✔ Approximately 28% lower carbon footprint from cradle to farm gate

Dairying in Australia produces milk with a 27.9% lower carbon footprint (total greenhouse gas emissions per kg of product), when compared to the global average of other major milk producing nations.

✔ 25% of the total energy consumption of the factory is solar energy

The factory that manufactures this product has invested in a solar system which supplies over 25% of the total energy needs of the site.

✔ 14%* lower carbon footprint plant-based packaging

The Tetra Pak carton packaging used for Theland’s Australia Pure A2 β-casein milk contains plant-based materials (including polymers derived from sugar cane) which results in a 14% lower carbon footprint than the standard Tetra Pak carton.

*Compared to other Theland 1L standard Tetra Pak cartons.

Energy Saving on Farm

✔ Water Use on Farm

To ensure the ongoing sustainability of the resource, water used on farms is allocated and regulated by the relevant State and Territory Government.

Dairy Farmers have many options to conserve water including the use of low - pressure hoses, quickly fixing leaks, and reducing evaporation from water stores.

✔ Waste Management on Farm

To improve on farm productivity whilst minimising environmental impact, farmers must comply with the regulations contained within the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA), including the management of waste.

This is to ensure that effluent is contained within farm boundaries and does not enter water supplies or contaminate land.

All animals are clearly identified through the National Livestock Identification System (NLIS) - Australia's system for identifying and tracking dairy cattle.

Farmers must meet their obligations under legislation including The Australian Animal Welfare Standards and Guidelines for Cattle to ensure that all aspects of animal welfare are considered in relation to the following five provisions:

  • Nutrition: the animals must be provided with access to fresh water and a good diet.
  • Environment: shade or shelter must be provided to give protection to the animals from extreme weather conditions.
  • Health: prevent or rapidly diagnose and treat illness or injury.
  • Behaviour: the animals must be provided with conditions that allow natural patterns of social behaviour.
  • Free from distress: to live and grow in a safe environment.
