Why choose BioPak?

At BioPak, it is our mission to produce the most sustainable, environmentally friendly packaging in the market. We champion compostable packaging. We are also a certified B Corporation and believe we have an obligation to preserve and protect the environment and to give back and support the communities in which we operate. So, when you purchase your packaging from BioPak, you can trust that we’re giving back 5 per cent of our profits, as well as contributing our time and energy to make a positive difference and accelerate the transition to a circular economy.

Additionally, we've launched Australia’s first national composting network. Compost Connect connects our customers to commercial composting facilities to divert our customers' compostable packaging and food scraps from landfills and instead have the organic waste turned into compost. We are the first manufacturer and distributor in the area to provide this closed-loop solution to support the circular economy.
