The Leaf BioCup, originally launched by BioPak in 2006, marked the company's first foray into sustainable cup design. Nearly two decades later, BioPak has transformed this pioneering product into a dynamic Nature Series in collaboration with Rainforest Rescue. The new series features changing designs that document the wonders of the trees planted to rehabilitate biodiverse areas, starting with three leaf designs: Ylang Ylang, Bleeding Heart, and Flame Tree. This ongoing cup project highlights the wonders of these trees, showcasing the beauty of nature and emphasizing the positive impact of reforestation efforts on restoring ecological balance. Don't miss out on the Leaf Cups, inspired by these trees, coming this September 2024!
We Donate 1% to Protect Rainforests
Over the last decade, our dedication to Australia's environment conversation has grown through our partnership with Rainforest Rescue. Together, we have planted and protected 90,947 trees and reclaimed five hectares of the endangered Daintree Rainforest. In our new educational series, Rainforest Rescue will share their knowledge and special insights about the trees planted, helping us understand how important these trees are for bringing back and preserving diverse areas.
Fun Fact: Known as the "Queen of Perfumes," the fruit of the Ylang-Ylang tree is popular amongst Cassowaries and Fruit Pigeons.
Found in Queensland, Australia, and other tropical regions around the world, Ylang-Ylang is a fast-growing tree valued for its fragrance. The flowers are used to produce fragrant oil for perfumes, earning the name "Queen of Perfumes."
Fun Fact: Bleeding Heart is the favourite food of Australia's biggest moth larva - the Hercules Moth.
Bleeding Heart is a small shrub predominantly found in Australia. It’s a fast-growing species, making it an excellent natural pioneer used in rainforest restoration projects across Far North Queensland.
Fun Fact: The Flame Tree sheds its leaves when its bright red, bell-shaped flowers emerge, giving the entire tree a striking appearance.
The Flame Tree is a large deciduous tree, endemic to tropical and subtropical regions on the east coast of Australia. It’s a real beauty, known for its bright red bell-shaped flowers that cover the tree. The leaves vary in shape and colour and can have up to five lobes.
Since 1999, Rainforest Rescue has been focused on protecting and restoring the Daintree Rainforest. They’ve been on a mission to increase connectivity, preserve biodiversity and protect rainforests forever.
Since 1997, Greenfleet plants legally protected native forests in Australia and New Zealand to deliver climate action, create habitat for koalas and other native wildlife, and help conserve biodiversity.
Since 2019, Ecologi has been an environmental organization that champions two extremely important factors in tackling the current climate crisis: carbon reduction and tree planting. Empowering businesses, especially SMEs, to take climate action and achieve net-zero.
