BioPark Awarded High Commendation for BioCane Range
BioPak received a high commendation for the BioCane Range for the food service industry by BioPak. BioPak specialises in designing packaging using a unique substrate made from refined sugarcane pulp, otherwise known as bagasse. The pulp packaging and any remaining food residues can be composted after use, effectively diverting waste from landfill and aligning with the principles of a circular economy. Their moulded bagasse (sugarcane pulp) pulp packaging is sturdy and provides a moisture and grease-resistant surface that allows the packaging to retain liquids and food for longer. Their production facility is certified to ISO 14001 environmental standards. The products are made from rapidly renewable plant-based agricultural byproducts designed to be compostable at the end of their life.
BioPak’s Product Stewardship
BioPak created a user-friendly platform for business owners and consumers to support responsible end-of-life disposal of our products. This platform allows food service businesses to easily find and connect with a compost partner in their area to schedule weekly pick-ups of their organic waste, like food scraps and our compostable packaging.
