BioPak Wins Sustainability Award at SubCon 2025

At BioPak, we see it as a privilege to support world-leading businesses like Subway in achieving their sustainability goals, so to be recognised for that work is truly an honour. 

At Subway's biennial Australia & New Zealand convention, held from March 28–30, 2025, at the Gold Coast Convention & Exhibition Centre, BioPak was thrilled to take home a Sustainability Award. This recognition reflects our commitment to creating foodservice packaging solutions that challenge the traditional take-make-waste model and lead the way toward a truly circular economy.

Held every two years, SUBCON is Subway’s official supplier convention. The brand brings its extended network together – including franchisees, managers, Sandwich Artists™, vendors, and partners – to share updates, plan for what’s next and celebrate the people and partners making a difference. 

With this year’s theme being “The Future Feels Good”, we heard from inspiring speakers, showcased our latest packaging solutions, and made new connections. 

The Sustainability Award is a key recognition given to a partner making a real difference to Subway’s sustainability journey, so we were thrilled to take this home. 

Since we began in 2006, BioPak has become a globally recognised brand offering sustainable packaging solutions made from rapidly renewable, plant-based resources. 

As a certified B Corp, we meet high standards of transparency and accountability and donate 5% of our profits to positive change via our Give Back Fund, delivering tangible social and environmental outcomes. We continuously push the boundaries of ‘business as usual’ – whether it’s developing new materials, growing our responsible supply chain, or committing to reaching Net-Zero GHG Emissions across our value chain by 2050.

We’re a business built on the belief that packaging can be part of the solution, not the problem.

The Sustainability Award presented at SUBCON25 highlighted the vital role BioPak plays in helping Subway achieve its sustainability targets. It also acknowledges the wider impact BioPak has on encouraging more conscious practices across the foodservice sector.

This award goes beyond simply recognising our packaging solutions. It celebrates the dedication and hard work that happens every day behind the scenes, like our continuous innovation and improvements to meet the packaging needs of tomorrow. 

It also shows how collaborating with the right partners helps raise industry standards and drive positive change, without sacrificing performance or convenience.

This award marks a proud moment for the entire BioPak team. It reflects not just what we do, but why we do it, and who we do it with. When supply partners and brands work together with a clear purpose, real change can happen. 

Being recognised in this way strengthens our commitment and highlights the difference that well-designed, responsible packaging can make. There’s still plenty of work to do – and that’s exactly what motivates us.

At BioPak, we’re proud to partner with quick service restaurants (QSRs) globally to help them reduce their environmental impact and meet their ESG goals, without compromising on quality, performance or brand experience.

With customised packaging, certified compostable solutions and real-time reporting, we offer tailored support to help QSRs transition to a more sustainable future. Whether you’re a global franchise or a fast-growing food chain, we’re here to lead the way toward circularity.
