The Leaf BioCup, originally launched by BioPak in 2006, marked the company's first foray into sustainable cup design. Nearly two decades later, this pioneering product has evolved into the dynamic Nature Series.
To tailor the series for New Zealand, we partnered with Greenfleet to support the Wenborn Forest project in coastal Dunedin. Overlooking Otago Harbour, this restoration effort planted 30 fast-growing native species to recreate the pre-clearing ecosystem and provide habitat for unique local wildlife.
New Zealand is home to some of the world’s most distinctive species, and Dunedin is a biodiversity hotspot. As Wenborn Forest matures, it will attract native birdlife like spotted shags, oystercatchers, and spoonbills, signalling a thriving, healthy forest.
The new series features rotating designs inspired by native trees planted at Wenborn Forest, with leaf images of Wineberry (Makomako), New Zealand Broadleaf (Kāpuka), and Kohuhu (Kōhūhū), a tribute to Aotearoa’s rich natural heritage and the power of reforestation.

1% to Store and Protect Rainforests
At BioPak, our commitment to protecting New Zealand’s environment continues to grow through our partnership with Greenfleet. One of the standout outcomes of this collaboration is the Wenborn Forest, a legally protected site for the next 100 years. Over its lifetime, this regenerated forest will remove approximately 5,400 tonnes of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, the equivalent of 2,700 return flights between Melbourne and Dunedin.
Beyond its climate impact, the project aims to restore dense, biodiverse native forest that mirrors the original ecosystem lost to land clearing. We’re proud to contribute to the long-term regeneration of this precious landscape, helping to preserve it for future generations.
Fun Fact: Shares the Māori name with the native Bellbird, also known as the kōmako or korimako.
Greenfleet has selected over 30 native species to be included in their reforestation project near Dunedin. One of these is Makomako, which has smooth bark and is semi-deciduous with red, pink or white flowers that turn into fleshy dark red to black berries. Its leaves are heart-shaped and deeply toothed with a slight pink gloss on the underside, and its branches are reddish when young. The fruits of this tree have been used for cultural practices by Māori and can provide habitat to the region's native birds.

Fun Fact: Found up to 1,000 metres above sea level, Littoralis means 'growing by the sea'.
Greenfleet has selected over 30 native species to be included in their reforestation project near Dunedin. One of these is Kāpuka, a shrubby tree with a dark trunk that bears glossy, green leaves on yellowish stems. It produces small yellow to cream bunches of flowers and dark purple fruit. Many native birds can be found in these trees, either feeding on the fruit or catching insects. These include Silvereyes, Fantails and Bellbirds.

Fun Fact: The flowers attract pollinating moths and night insects with their honey-scented nectar.
Greenfleet has selected over 30 native species to be included in their reforestation project near Dunedin. One of these is Kōhūhū, which can grow up to 10 metres tall and attract pollinating insects with its honey-scented nectar. These trees are sometimes mistaken for other pittosporum species like Tarata, but have shorter and wider leaves.
