Materials We Use
Our range is built using a mix of compostable, biodegradable and recyclable materials. Each option is selected to suit different food service needs, while supporting more sustainable outcomes across the packaging lifecycle.
PLA Bioplastics
PLA (Polylactic Acid) is a plant-based bioplastic derived from renewable resources. It offers the clarity and performance of conventional plastic, while being industrially compostable under the right conditions. PLA is commonly used for cold cups, lids and clear packaging applications.
Key benefit: Renewable alternative to traditional plastic.
Pulp (Bagasse)
Moulded fibre pulp products are made from sugarcane waste - an abundant by-product of sugar production. Strong, heat-resistant and compostable, pulp packaging is ideal for hot foods, takeaway meals and catering applications, breaking down naturally after use.
Key benefit: Made from agricultural waste and compostable.
Palm Leaf
Palm leaf packaging is produced using naturally fallen leaves from palm trees. The leaves are cleaned and heat-pressed into shape without chemicals, coatings or additives, resulting in a truly natural, biodegradable solution with a premium, organic look.
Key benefit: No chemicals, no processing additives.
Wood
Wooden packaging and cutlery are made from responsibly managed forests and provide a natural alternative to plastic. Durable and biodegradable, wood is free from harmful chemicals and well-suited to both food service and catering environments.
Key benefit: Naturally biodegradable and responsibly sourced.
Paper
Paper is one of the most trusted renewable materials in food packaging. Wherever possible, NaturalPak uses paper sourced from responsibly managed plantations, including options. Paper packaging offers versatility, strength and a clean, natural aesthetic.
Key benefit: Renewable, recyclable and widely accepted.
Wheat Fibre
Wheat fibre is created from agricultural by-products that would otherwise go to waste. Lightweight and biodegradable, it provides a sustainable option for food packaging while reducing landfill impact and reliance on virgin materials.
Key benefit: Uses agricultural waste to reduce environmental impact.
PP (Polypropylene)
Polypropylene is a durable, heat-resistant plastic commonly used for reusable or resealable food packaging. It is widely accepted for recycling and offers excellent functionality for applications where compostable materials may not be suitable.
Key benefit: Recyclable and highly durable.
PVC
PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) provides strength, clarity and reliable sealing performance. Used selectively where required, PVC packaging is recyclable and supports applications needing extended shelf life and visibility.
Key benefit: Strong, clear and recyclable.
PET / PETE
PET is a lightweight, impact-resistant plastic commonly used for food and beverage packaging. Fully recyclable and widely accepted through recycling streams, PET helps protect contents while supporting circular material recovery.
Key benefit: Fully recyclable and widely collected.
