So, why does plastic packaging matter?
Of all plastic packaging produced each year 75% is waste
Of this 58M tonnes of plastic waste only 14% is recycled
This results in our oceans containing roughly 1 tonne of plastic to every 3 tonnes of fish
and the average person ingesting roughly 5g of plastic every week
Our Mission
Produce Less Plastic Waste
At Naturpac we are motivated to drive our partners throughout the grocery supply chain to consider ways to use less plastics, instead exploring recyclable, biodegradable and ultimately compostable options.
Drive a Recycling Revolution
We are working with retailers, local government partners, schools and University research institutes to identify the best ways to educate the consumers of today and of tomorrow on the benefits and ways to save our planet through recycling practices.
Think Beyond Recycling
We are challenging ourselves, our partners and our peers to strive beyond recycling. We recognise that recycling is not the end goal. We need to aim for compostable solutions that are focused on the betterment of the earth, every step of the way.
Our Method
It is Naturpac's mission to change the way people think about packaging. We need to move away from an autopilot frame of mind, and towards a positive choice for change.
Based in Australia and New Zealand, we plan to start locally and build a funnel of change where businesses start by transitioning to Bronze level packaging options. However, at the other end of the funnel – we hope one day to see people striving to make all of their packaging choices centre around compostable options.
Partnering Suppliers
Naturpac is working with supply partners large and small to champion better packaging choices.
Challenging Retail
Naturpac is looking to partner with Australia's largest retailers to deliver promotional & education programs.
Educating Consumers
It is Naturpac's commitment to focus on changing the behavioural habits of tomorrow's consumer households.
