Single-use Plastic Legislative Landscape

Single-use plastic bans are an effective strategy to speed up the transition toward a circular economy. The goal is to reduce plastic pollution on land and in the oceans and reduce the unsustainable use of fossil fuels to make packaging.

Increasingly, Australian state governments are requiring that compostable packaging must be certified either home or industrially compostable to Australian standards. Look out for the certification logos shown to the left.

BioPak has a full range of Australian-certified compostable alternatives – so you can feel confident that we have the right solution for you.
