Sustainably Sourced Paper Bags Are the Future
Our paper bags are a sustainable alternative to conventional plastic bags and are made from forest-friendly FSC™ Mix certified unlined paper. These brown paper bags are perfect for restaurants and cafes offering takeaway with a strong and sturdy design, making them durable for transportation. They can also be recycled in your normal kerbside recycling if not contaminated with food.
Why Plastic Bags Are No Longer a Viable Option
It’s no secret that single-use plastic items are causing many problems in our environment. Many single-use plastic food service items cannot be recycled, therefore ending up in landfills, but mostly in waterways and wildlife habitats. Not only is this cruel to the wildlife that ingests our waste, but the depletion of certain species can have a major, detrimental impact on our ecosystem. Thankfully, we have other alternatives to replace plastic bags, like our takeaway paper bags.
If you haven’t moved away from plastic bags in your business, there’s no better time than the present! Did you know businesses can receive a hefty fine if caught using plastic bags? Make sure to educate yourself on the state single-use plastic bans in Australia to avoid paying big bucks!
Why BioPak Paper Bags Are Better
Our kraft paper bags are available in twisted, flat and die-cut handles. Our bags are printed with BioPak branding and environmental messaging to show off your green colours. In addition to this, BioPak donates 5% of profits from each sale of our paper carry bags to drive positive change. It can’t get much better than that!
