Compostable Plastics Australia
CPA – the bag built to fall apart
The plastic you do, when you’re not doing plastic.
We understand that single use plastics are part of the problem of fast fashion and furnishings. Our transit bags protect goods from your suppliers to warehouse, then to the end customers.
Plant based, our packaging expires after 10 months without damage to your product or the planet. Second life and even third, can be found with these bags, until they become nutrients for the earth.
100% compostable. 100% biodegradable.
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
CPA Green Bag, proudly holds global certifications. AS4736, AS 5810 and BPI#9001058.
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 and Victoria lead the way.
These states have commenced banning single-use-plastics by 2023 (WA, VIC) and 2024 (SA).
New South Wales commenced with similar targets in June of 2022.
NT and TAS have banned single-use bags. QLD and ACT have banned certain single-use plastics but not bags to date.
In Australia approximately
130,000 tonnes of plastic leaks into the marine environment each year
By 2050, it is estimated that
plastic in the oceans will outweigh fish
84% of plastic used is
sent to landfill and only 13% is recycled
One million tonnes of Australia’s annual plastic consumption is single-use plastic
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.
