OUR STORY

Our company is an Australian owned family business. It was founded by Peter over a decade ago, who spent several years after university working overseas, only to return to Australia with a renewed appreciation of our beautiful country. It’s certain things you really value after years away… the amazingly unique flora and fauna, sounds of rain on the tin roof, the smell of a freshly cut lawn, and summer rain on the road…

Shaped by this experience, Peter became passionate about ensuring Australians have access to world class products, which make it easier for everyone to live more sustainably, and so protect our unique country.

So, after a few years of research, many prototypes, and even more sleepless nights for his entire growing family, the Compost-A-Pak® brand was born.

Peter now works (mostly) harmoniously with his wife Mel, who he convinced to leave a corporate career to join the cause. The brainstorming now happens in a bright green warehouse in Newcastle, with an extremely talented, diverse team, where many of our products are now designed from initial sketches to world class products. We are all very proud to have grown into one of Australia’s leading suppliers of compostable products…

It seems Peter’s passion to inspire Australians to be more sustainable is infectious.

HOWEVER

THE BEST STORY IS THE ONE ABOUT OUR PRODUCTS

LET’S TAKE YOU TO THE FARM

WHERE IT ALL BEGINS

The magic organic ingredient used in Compost-A-Pak® products is corn. We choose corn as it is an annually renewable crop. Unlike trees, corn can re-grow and be harvested in a single season.

The actual crops are deliberately sourced from international GMO-free regions with high levels of rain, to minimise any irrigation. In addition, the actual corn kernels selected are classified as third grade corn.  A waste product normally left by farmers to rot, this spoilt corn is not suitable for human or animal consumption, so even the chooks don’t miss out!

Compost-A-Pak - Where it all begins

From traditional farming practices to cutting edge science and technology…

Using purpose built biodegradable resin extruders, a BF Series Resin is extracted from the combination of corn starch, biodegradable ingredients, and some proprietary elements. From this resin, blown film bags are then formed in a range of styles, sizes and thicknesses. We design the bags specifically for customer convenience, and to our unique, strict minimum standards of thickness for durability. The blown film bags are then printed with soy-based, non-toxic printing inks, and packaged in a wide variety of options.

We are really proud that through re-engineering this purpose-built equipment, our liners are made with significantly less electricity consumption, compared to manufacturing on conventional extrusion equipment!

Compost-A-Pak - Sustainable Practices

We are also really proud that all our Compost-A-Pak® products are certified Compostable by the major global certifying bodies across Europe, North America and Australasia.

With flying colours we even passed the Eco-Toxicity and the Worm Test, which is unique to the Australian Standard, the most stringent of all worldwide compostability standards. All our products are certified to the Australian Commercial Composting Standard (AS4736), and the Blown Film Bin Liners, Singlet Bags and Dog Waste Bags are also certified to the Australian Home Composting Standard (AS5810). As such you can be confident our products are safe, and can be even used for organic farming, food contact, worm farms and in animal feed.

In fact, according to worldwide standards, compostable products should biodegrade at least 90% within 90 days in a commercial composting facility. Compost-A-Pak® products were shown to biodegrade 99% in half the time!

THE KEY POINT IS THAT WE HAVE DONE ALL THE WORK TO ENSURE IT’S REALLY EASY FOR YOU TO LIVE MORE SUSTAINABLY.
