Eco-Friendly Packaging

The Advantages of Eco-Friendly Packaging

Opting for eco-friendly packaging brings multiple benefits for both your business and the planet. By choosing sustainable materials, you are reducing waste, conserving natural resources, and lowering your carbon footprint.

Our eco-friendly packaging is made from materials that are recyclable and biodegradable, offering an excellent balance between functionality and environmental responsibility.

This commitment not only helps the environment but also enhances your brand’s image as an eco-conscious company.

From compostable mailers to recycled cardboard boxes, our products are designed to protect your goods while being kind to the environment. Our eco-friendly packaging solutions are ideal for businesses aiming to reduce their ecological impact without sacrificing performance and reliability.

Eco-Friendly Packaging in Australia: Leading the Sustainability Charge

Ozpack Australia is at the forefront of offering eco-friendly packaging solutions tailored for Australian businesses.

Our solutions are crafted to meet the unique requirements of Australian enterprises, helping you achieve sustainability goals with ease.

Eco-Friendly Packaging Options for a Small Online Business

What are the eco-friendly packaging options for a small online business in Australia? Five materials cover most orders: kraft paper, corrugated cardboard, honeycomb paper, calico and cellophane. Each does a different job, and together they make up sustainable packaging that protects your products and keeps waste low.

Kraft paper

Strong brown paper made from plant fibres. Use it where customers see your packaging: paper carry bags for markets and pop-ups, brown envelopes for flat items, and kraft paper tape to seal parcels instead of plastic tape. Our 150GSM paper carry bags are recyclable.

Corrugated cardboard

The workhorse of shipping. Its fluted layers absorb knocks, so use mailing boxes and cartons for anything fragile, heavy or boxed. Choose the size closest to your product to cut waste. Our corrugated boxes are 100% recyclable. Remove plastic tape and labels first.

Honeycomb paper

Kraft paper cut into an expanding honeycomb that cushions much like bubble wrap. Use honeycomb wrap to protect glassware and ceramics inside a box, or a honeycomb padded envelope for jewellery and small gifts. It's recyclable paper.

Calico

Calico drawstring bags are reusable cotton, in four sizes from 10 x 15cm to 30 x 40cm. Use them to present jewellery, soaps, accessories and gifts, then let customers keep and reuse them. Calico is a natural, biodegradable fabric, not plastic.

Cellophane

Clear bags show off your product and keep out dust and moisture. Use cello bags as an inner layer for cards, baked goods and small gifts. Most cello bags, including our self-seal range, are OPP film, a type of plastic, so they don't compost. Genuine cellophane is made from wood pulp and does. Our cellophane vs plastic guide explains how to tell them apart.

Curious about other plant-based packaging? Our guide explains bagasse, a sugarcane fibre.

Recyclable, biodegradable or compostable?

These words get mixed up, so here's the simple version:

• Recyclable means it can be collected and made into new products
• Biodegradable means it breaks down naturally over time, with no set timeframe
• Compostable means it breaks down into compost in a bin or heap. Certified compostable products carry AS 4736 (commercial) or AS 5810 (home) on the label.

Note: OPP cello bags are plastic film, so they don't fit any column.

Single-use plastic bans

Every Australian state and territory has banned lightweight plastic bags, and most have added bans on plastic straws, cutlery, plates, bowls and polystyrene food containers. Rules vary by state, so check yours.

Compostable plastic isn't a loophole: NSW's lightweight bag ban covers compostable bags, and Victoria's bans cover compostable plastic items. Paper, cardboard and cotton aren't plastic, so kraft carry bags, paper tape and calico bags make it easier to comply as the rules widen.
