Sustainability

For over 100 years, Ostelin has supported the health and wellbeing of Australians through innovative, science-backed supplements. But our commitment goes beyond health — we’re equally dedicated to sustainability, social responsibility, and creating a positive impact for the world. At Ostelin we are not just about the products we offer; we are part of a larger movement that supports local communities and champions the resilience and strength of people from all walks of life. We do this via a number of self-care initiatives because to us, true self-care isn’t just about individuals; it’s about creating a healthier future for all. Learn more below:

Sustainable Media – Ostelin streams advertising on the Renewable Ads Engine to cut emissions from digital ads.

Reducing waste.

Opella ANZ diverts 217 tonnes of waste from landfill each year – nearly one Olympic-sized swimming pool.
Soft gel waste generated during the manufacturing process is thoughtfully upcycled into compost to enrich gardens.

Preserving ecosystems.

Opella ANZ’s Biodiversity Roadmap for the Brisbane manufacturing site includes a tree-planting policy— three trees planted for Every one removed.
The site also supports native beehives and planets, with local wildlife often visiting the adjacent healthy creek.

From source to shelf

At Ostelin, the majority of our products are made locally in Brisbane in our state-of-the-art manufacturing facility. Our network of researchers search the globe for high quality ingredients, scientists, and formulators, and our quality control processes then ensure the development of our products meet our strict quality standards.
