The Green ‘Plastic’ Bag
-built to fall apart

100% compostable. 100% biodegradable

We understand that single use plastics are part of the problem of fast fashion and furnishings. Our range of compostable bags protect goods, from your suppliers to warehouse, warehouse to customer.

Plant-based, our packaging expires after 10 months without damaging your product or the planet. Second life, third life; until our compostables become nutrients for the earth.

100% Compostable
100% Biodegradable

So the word plastic is throwing you off. Our plastic is made of corn starch, and PBAT, all plant based.

Tested to
International
Standards

At Project Down Under, we believe that what’s closest to us-our underwear—isn’t just waste but valuable raw material. When processed correctly we can turn underwear into raw material.

Sizing
Assortment

Available in several sizes to take into account the versatility needed to protect our customers’ products.

Neutral for
a Reason

Our packaging is left in a neutral, corn starch colour, with minimum printing – to lessen unnecessary
‘overproduction’ of functional packaging.

Government
Mandates

Western Australia, South Australia & Victoria lead the way

New South Wales commenced with similar targets in June of 2022.

NT and TAS have banned single-use bags.

So, what does this mean for Australian retailers?

As mandates occur across Australia, retailers are looking for long-term solutions. It is important that retailers can source plant-based packaging that has a transparent supply chain. CPA is proudly a member of APCO
