BioCup Leaf Series

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.
