100% Natural Materials
Earthcycle Palm Fibre Trays are made from 100% palm fiber, a renewable resource that significantly reduces reliance on fossil fuels. The material is sourced from the by-products of the palm oil industry, ensuring no additional deforestation occurs.
Biodegradable
These fruit packaging trays are fully compostable, breaking down naturally within a few months under composting conditions. This feature ensures that they do not contribute to landfill waste and are a superior alternative to plastic packaging, which can take centuries to decompose.
Durable and Lightweight
Despite being biodegradable, Earthcycle Palm Fibre Fruit Packaging Trays are incredibly durable and lightweight. They provide excellent protection for fresh produce during transportation and storage, reducing the risk of damage and spoilage.
Breathability
The natural fibers of the trays allow for breathability, which is essential for fresh produce. This feature helps in maintaining the freshness and extending the shelf life of the produce by allowing excess moisture to escape.
Naturpac* is the exclusive distributor of Earthcycle™ sustainable fresh produce fruit packaging trays in Australia and New Zealand.
Material Composition: Earthcycle Palm Fibre Fruit Packaging Trays are composed of 100% palm fiber, without any added chemicals or plastics. This ensures that the trays are completely natural and safe for direct contact with food.
Dimensions: The trays are available in multiple sizes to accommodate various types of fresh produce. Standard dimensions include small trays for berries and other small fruits, medium trays for tomatoes and avocados, and larger trays for leafy greens and bulkier items.
Load Capacity: Each tray is engineered to support a specific weight range, ensuring that it can handle the demands of transporting and storing fresh produce without compromising structural integrity.
Shelf Life: Earthcycle Palm Fibre Fruit Packaging Trays are designed to maintain their integrity over the product’s shelf life. This means that even under refrigerated conditions, the trays will not degrade prematurely, ensuring the produce remains protected and fresh until it reaches the consumer.
EcoFriendly: The primary benefit of Earthcycle Palm Fibre Fruit Packaging Trays is their positive environmental impact. By using a renewable resource and ensuring the trays are compostable, Earthcycle significantly reduces the carbon footprint and environmental impact associated with packaging.
Consumer Appeal: As consumers become increasingly aware of environmental issues, there is a growing demand for sustainable packaging. Earthcycle Palm Fibre Trays meet this demand, providing a packaging solution that consumers can feel good about purchasing.
Cost-Effective: Despite the advanced technology and sustainable materials used in their production, Earthcycle Palm Fibre Trays are competitively priced with traditional plastic alternatives. This makes the transition to sustainable packaging affordable for growers, producers, packhouses and retailers.
Compliance: Earthcycle Palm Fibre Trays meet Australian regulations for sustainable packaging, supporting national efforts to reduce plastic waste. The Australian Packaging Covenant Organisation (APCO) aims to have 100% of packaging reusable, recyclable, or compostable by 2025, and Earthcycle trays contribute directly to this goal.
Our Compostable Palm Fibre Pulp Fruit Packaging Trays are made from a blend of wood pulp fibres that are certified compostable, recyclable, renewable and meet the Naturpac Gold Standard.
Earthcycle’s commitment to sustainability is evident in every aspect of their product. By utilising palm fiber, a by-product of the palm oil industry, Earthcycle minimises waste and promotes a circular economy.
The trays are fully compostable, meaning they break down naturally without leaving harmful residues or contributing to landfill waste.
In Australia, sustainability initiatives are gaining momentum, with significant efforts to reduce plastic waste and promote recyclable and compostable packaging. The Australian Government’s National Plastics Plan and the APCO’s 2025 National Packaging Targets are key drivers of this movement. Earthcycle Palm Fibre Trays align perfectly with these goals, providing an eco-friendly packaging solution that supports Australia’s sustainability objectives.
Earthcycle Palm Fibre Fruit Packaging Trays are an innovative packaging solution designed to address the growing need for sustainable and ecofriendly options in the fresh produce industry.

With the increasing global focus on sustainability, Earthcycle Palm Fibre Trays provide an environmentally responsible choice for packaging fresh produce, aligning with both consumer demands and regulatory requirements.
Palm fiber is derived from the by-products of palm oil production, ensuring that no additional trees are felled for the manufacturing process. This innovative use of agricultural waste material not only reduces the environmental impact but also promotes a circular economy. Earthcycle’s commitment to sustainability is evident in every aspect of their product, from the raw materials used to the final disposal of the trays.
Earthcycle Palm Fibre Trays are versatile and can be used across various sectors of the fresh produce industry. Here are some examples of their applications:
Naturpac carries a wide range of Earthcycle smooth moulded pulp packaging that protects and displays delicate fresh produce while speaking to consumer demands:
CKF is a pioneer in the application of top seal technology to recyclable and compostable moulded pulp containers. Top seal technology combined with our Earthcycle punnets speaks to the consumer’s desire for less plastic while provided extended shelf life benefits for fresh produce. Our punnets are designed so packers can maintain production efficiencies found with plastic – by using the same tool sets, automatic de-nesters and matching production speeds.
