Practical, sustainable choices for modern supply chains and logistics loops.
Last updated: 2026Make Sustainability Work for Your Business
Sustainability is a standard business expectation across modern supply chains. At Power Packaging, we have spent over 30 years helping Australian companies reduce their environmental footprint with reliable, recyclable, and biodegradable warehouse alternatives. Our comprehensive Sustainable Packaging range allows dispatch operations to meet customer demand for greener choices without sacrificing box protection, stretch recovery, or pallet holding power.
Why Sustainable Supply Chains Matter
Australian businesses face consistent market and regulatory focus to align workflows with APCO packaging guidelines and local plastic reduction targets. We keep your fulfillment systems efficient with verified consumables:
Recyclable Packaging Solutions
Effective recycling relies on direct sorting stream recovery. Our range of paper based lines integrates smoothly into cardboard streams to manage void spaces cleanly:
Adhesive Kraft Paper Tape
A practical choice to replace plastic tape rolls. Formulated with high-tack adhesive components, our Kraft Paper Tape range — including custom Printed Paper Tape and Water Activated Tape — seals shipping cartons securely, allowing the entire box to enter recycling pulp machinery without needing the backing stripped off.
Self-Sealing Cardboard Book Mailers
Constructed from rigid corrugated board, our flat-packed Cardboard Boxes — including our full Stock Size Cartons range — and protective Book Mailers feature a built-in adhesive track. This layout removes tape usage from the packing line, simplifying shipping setup while remaining clear for kerbside processing disposal.
Ranpak Paper Void Fill and Cushioning Converters
Replace plastic bubble cushioning and loose packing peanuts with paper converter configurations. Our unbleached kraft paper structures feed dynamically to cushion, wrap, block, and brace delicate components securely.
Power Packaging: Authorised Ranpak Distributor
Ranpak has been engineering paper-based protective packaging systems since 1972, and today its equipment runs in fulfillment and industrial operations worldwide. As an authorised Ranpak distributor, Power Packaging supplies the machines, papers, and consumables for three protective packaging jobs: filling voids, cushioning fragile items, and wrapping products for transit — all using single-material, curbside-recyclable kraft paper instead of mixed-plastic void fill.
Converts flat kraft paper into a cushioned, springy fill on demand, so cartons ship with less empty space and less freight air. See our Paper Void Fill range and the compact FillPak Mini system for lower-volume benches.
Popular papers: FillPak TT 50gsm x 500m, FillPak TT 70gsm x 360m
Crumples paper into dense pads or thermal wraps that block, brace, and protect heavier or fragile items in transit — a direct swap for bubble wrap and foam. Browse our Paper Cushioning range, including PadPak LC for lighter goods and PadPak Senior for high-value, heavier items. For insulated or moulded protection, see WrapPak Protector.
Popular papers: PadPak Senior 70/70gsm x 175m, PadPak LC Paper, WrapPak 70gsm Kraft Paper
An interlocking honeycomb paper structure that clings to product surfaces without tape or adhesive, replacing bubble wrap for individual product protection and surface separation. See our Paper Wrapping range.

Because paper systems dispense on demand from a single roll rather than a warehouse of pre-formed plastic void fill, they also help reclaim floor and shelf space — worth factoring in alongside material choice when reviewing packing bench layout.

Biodegradable and Recycled-Content Products
For logistics spaces aiming to divert trade waste patterns away from commercial landfill options, we offer stable alternatives with recycled content or accelerated landfill breakdown:
50% Recycled Content Courier Satchels
Constructed with a heavy-duty, tear-resistant polymer layout, our Courier Satchels combine logistics durability with 50% recycled material content. They shield retail parcels securely across freight lines while cutting the amount of virgin plastic entering the supply chain.
Landfill Biodegradable Packaging Tape
Formulated to accelerate breakdown inside managed commercial landfill setups. Our 48mm Biodegradable Packaging Tape allows packing staff to maintain standard film thickness, puncture thresholds, and smooth gun release speeds while meeting company waste diversion targets.
50% Recycled Content Hand Pallet Wrap
Secure heavy palletized cargo arrays without depending on 100% virgin plastic wrap supplies. Our 50% Recycled Content Wrap integrates verified recycled material to secure elite puncture resistance, strong cling properties, and equal containment tension across freight pallets. For automated lines, see our matching Sustainable Stretch Wrap range for pallet wrapping machines.
The challenge: A Sydney-based cosmetics retailer required an eco-friendly packing process that matched their green brand framework without risking split boxes or moisture defects inside high-volume courier shipping pipelines.
Our solution: We established a refined packing standard utilizing kraft cardboard layers, 50% recycled-content courier satchels, and custom-printed paper tape rolls. This setup eliminated product transport damage claims while improving positive unboxing feedback from their end customers.
