Our sustainability commitments drive us forward, propelling us to achieve even greater milestones and create a positive impact on the world around us.

The innovation BioPak entered for the AFR Sustainability Leaders List was our not for profit, composting initiative Compost Connect. Compost Connect is a composting network designed by BioPak. It is a product stewardship initiative to close the loop on our compostable packaging and divert as much food waste and compostable packaging from landfill as possible. As a producer of food service packaging, BioPak sought a responsible end-of-life solution for our packaging and the organic contents that are often served in them; food. We created Compost Connect to close the loop on compostable packaging and connect foodservice businesses directly with industrial composting facilities. Our goal is to create a world with zero waste. We have forged the path with our compostable packaging, however, composting infrastructure still has a long way to go in Australia. Compost Connect was created to help our compostable packaging reach its optimum end of life and thereby fulfil our zero waste goals. In the last 2 years, we have launched Compost Connect in three countries – Australia, New Zealand and the UK, adding 269 foodservice businesses that champion composting to our Compost Club Map. Together, these businesses have diverted over 4000 tonnes of organic waste from landfill which has avoided the generation of 2,041 tonnes of carbon emissions.
