Naturpac is leading the way in the Australian and New Zealand Markets for ethical packaging, with recyclable, biodegradable and compostable packaging solutions including Earthcycle, which is part of our Gold Standard packaging range.
As a world we are obligated to reduce plastics consumption and to find alternatives. Naturpac is working with the world’s leading innovators to offer choices that are recyclable, biodegradable, and ultimately compostable.
Our brand defines the benchmark for these across three tiers. And its accompanying seal of approval gives consumers peace of mind that they are choosing packaging For a Better Earth.
We set the standard for change in ethical packaging. We are all on a journey towards packaging for a better earth, and that’s why we offer three product ranges.
Our first product range tier is the Naturpac Bronze Standard, which includes an industry-leading range of recyclable alternative packaging options. Our second tier is the Naturpac Silver Standard which represents our biodegradable range. And our top tier, our truly compostable Gold Standard range is the goal. Long term we must all strive for compostable solutions.
Here at Naturpac we are delighted to include Earthcyle in our Gold Standard packaging range.

Made in North America from renewable resources, the pulp hinged lids are food grade compliant and are leak proof with sturdy lid closures. Pulp packaging is widely recyclable in waste paper streams, with on average 70% of all paper packaging being recycled in North America.
Key selling propositions:
• Recyclable

Earthcycle ultra white meat and seafood trays:
EarthcycleTM ultra white protein trays offer a step above in performance and environmental credibility! The trays, produced at higher manufacturing weights, offer additional strength and longer shelf life. The bright white colour adds shelf appeal to the protein on display. The trays are widely recyclable in the paper stream. Proudly manufactured in Canada at GMP Gold Standard production facilities, the packaging complies with Heath Canada and FDA guidelines for protein packaging.
From in-store testing and usage of Earthcycle trays, retailers have found that the Earthcycle trays perform best under the following conditions:
- Packaging for all types of meats and seafood
- Meat packaging performance is optimised for high traffic locations
- Shelf performance optimised when used with a soaker pad
- When packaging seafood, trays can last for up to 5 days with a soaker pad
- Use of an environmental label/sticker and/or shelf talker to call out that the trays are widely recyclable in the waste paper stream
