Made from renewable plant sugars and vegetable oils through a unique fermentation process to create PHA resin that contains no fossil fuel-based plastic. These 8oz PHA BioCups are certified home compostable (AS5810) and industrially compostable (AS4736). While PHA resin is marine biodegradable (ASTM D 6691), our cups aren’t certified for marine biodegradability to prevent littering.

The first company to bring it to the Australian market, PHA is a coffee cup lining that’s certified home compostable and contains no fossil-based plastic.
PHA is a step forward in sustainable packaging as it doesn't contain fossil fuel-based plastic.
PHA resin is certified marine biodegradable, meaning if it accidentally gets into the sea, it will break down significantly faster than regular plastic, ensuring that no microplastics persist in the long term. However, while PHA resin is marine biodegradable, manufactured products that don't have marine applications, like our cups, can't be certified as marine biodegradable to avoid littering.

The eco-cost calculated per carton, offers our customers a straightforward metric to understand and compare the environmental impacts of our products. Please note that it is not a hidden or added fee to the product's market price.
The eco-cost is independently calculated across four categories – biodiversity loss, effects on human health, material scarcity, as well as the more standard carbon emissions. BioPak utilises this data to identify areas with the greatest potential for environmental impact reduction, it is our job to reduce the eco-cost and your impact.
