Our Motueka factory runs on solar energy so every bottle and can is made with sunshine
Bottled by Sunshine: NZ’s Only Solar-Powered Bottler
Looking for truly sustainable drinks? Pete’s Natural isn’t just about real fruit and no nasties. We are also the only solar powered contract bottling and canning company in New Zealand. That means every soda, bottle, and can that leaves our Motueka factory runs on sunshine.
Why Solar?
Motueka is one of Aotearoa’s sunniest spots, so it made sense to put that sunshine to work. Instead of burning through fossil fuels, we decided to capture the rays and use them to power our entire production line. As a result, every stage of our process runs on clean, renewable energy.
Therefore, every bottle and can is brewed, bottled, and boxed under the sun.

From sponsoring local events to giving back through donations we put community at the heart of every soda.
What It Means for You
For Soda Lovers
Every sip of Pete’s is lighter on the planet. You are drinking the sunshine, minus the footprint.
For Contract Clients
When you bottle or can with us, your brand gets to wear that solar powered badge too. No greenwashing, just good old Kiwi ingenuity.
Soda With a Side of Good
Solar power forms part of a bigger promise: FairTrade@Home, local fruit, recyclable glass and cans, and community giving.
Together, these choices show that sustainability works in real life. We prove every day that running a business responsibly is possible and tasty at the same time.
The Sunshine Story Continues
From NZ orchards to solar panels on our roof, we brew up a brighter future. Moreover, we see this as only the beginning.
So whether you crack open a bottle of our award winning Lemonade, or choose to bottle or can your own product with us, the sun has your back.
