Practical, sustainable choices for modern supply chains

Last updated: August 2025

Make Sustainability Work for Your Business

Sustainability isn’t a trend—it’s an expectation. At Power Packaging, we’ve spent 30+ years helping Australian companies reduce their footprint with certified, recyclable and compostable packaging. Explore our Sustainable Packaging range to meet customer demand for greener practices—without sacrificing performance.

Why It Matters

Australian businesses are under growing pressure to comply with APCO guidelines and state-level plastic bans. We help you stay ahead with packaging that is:

  • Designed for closed-loop recycling
  • Compliant with AS 4736 (industrial composting) and AS 5810 (home composting)
  • Backed by data sheets and local support

What We Offer: A Look at the Range

Instead of a flat product list, here’s how sustainable packaging works in real Australian settings.

Case Example: Sustainable Shipping for an Australian Cosmetics Brand

The challenge: A Sydney-based cosmetics retailer needed eco packaging that matched their brand—without losing protection in long-haul courier networks.

Our solution: FSC-certified kraft cartons, home-compostable mailers, and custom-printed paper tape. Result: fewer damages and happier customers.

Recyclable Packaging Solutions

Not all “recyclable” packaging is equal. Our range is chosen for real-world recovery through kerbside cardboard/paper and soft-plastic alternatives where available.

Biodegradable & Compostable Products

Choose products that break down under home or industrial composting conditions (AS 5810 / AS 4736).

Questions We Hear Often (FAQ)

Can your compostable bags go in home compost bins?
Yes—our compostable bags meet AS 5810 and break down in typical backyard compost within ~180 days.
Do you offer print customisation on eco products?
Absolutely. Most paper tape, mailers and cartons can be custom-branded with water-based inks.
Are technical data sheets available?
Yes—request data sheets covering tensile strength, composition and environmental certifications.
Can I trial packaging systems before committing?
We offer demos and short-term trials for qualified volume users. Ask our team for availability.
