The Future of Produce Packaging: Sustainable Meets Functional
Australians throw away around 1.9 million tonnes of packaging each year (source). Unsurprisingly, one of the many ways to reduce this staggering figure is to minimise the use of plastic produce packaging.
Yet for farmers, growers and supermarkets, we understand sustainable alternatives can’t compromise functionality. Plastic-free produce trays also need to be durable, inexpensive, sturdy, long-lasting, moisture-repellent, and of course, attractive for the customer.
At BioPak, our produce trays tick all these boxes and more. Which is why growers and supermarket brands are jumping on board with our Plant Fibre BioCane Range, a strong, inexpensive, and home compostable (AS5810) solution.

Plant Fibre Packaging: A Truly Circular Solution
Want to create soil food, not landfill? Our BioCane produce trays are made from rapidly renewable resources like bagasse, with no intentionally added PFAS. Bagasse (also known as sugarcane pulp) is the fibrous substance that remains after the sugarcane plant is harvested for its juice. Fibre that would otherwise go to waste.
Being a plant fibre, our BioCane packaging is certified home compostable and industrially compostable to Australian Standards (AS5810 and AS4736). This means it can be thrown into your backyard compost and biodegrade within 30-90 days, returning to earth as soil food. You can experience the magic of our compostable packaging in this worm farm timelapse.
