What is the ONLY Australian Made Compostable Stretch Wrap?
Imagine packaging that’s not just functional but actually good for the planet. That’s exactly what this project delivers. It’s a B Corp Certified material science company crafting compostable stretch wrap designed for both businesses and homes. This isn’t your average plastic wrap — it’s a fresh take on packaging, born from a team of bio-designers, engineers, and scientists who believe real innovation happens at the molecular level. Their goal? To completely rethink and redesign packaging to tackle plastic pollution head-on.
The Main Benefit: Composting to Slow Climate Change
Composting isn’t just a buzzword here; it’s a powerful tool against climate change. Here’s why it matters:
- Carbon buildup in the atmosphere and oceans is speeding up climate change dangerously.
- Soils desperately need more organic carbon to stay healthy.
- Adding just 0.4% of organic carbon annually to soils through composting could offset all global greenhouse gases released.
- Replacing all single-use plastics with compostable alternatives could make a huge positive impact on both climate change and plastic pollution.
- So far, more than 15 million metres of traditional stretch wrap have been kept out of landfills thanks to this compostable alternative.
Biotechnology and Materials Science at the Core
This project stands at the crossroads of biotechnology and materials science. By combining these fields, the team has developed a new paradigm in packaging technology. It’s not just about creating something that works — it’s about creating something that works with nature, breaking down safely and enriching the environment rather than harming it. This approach is a game-changer for industries that rely heavily on plastic wrap, offering a sustainable alternative without compromising on performance.
Supporting Indigenous Heritage
Respect and recognition are key values here. The company acknowledges the traditional landowners of the Eastern Kulin Nation, where they live, learn, love, and work. They pay respects to the Elders past, present, and emerging, honoring the deep connection to the land that inspires sustainable practices and responsible innovation.
Helping Businesses Say Goodbye to Plastic Forever
Businesses looking to make a real difference have found a partner in this compostable stretch wrap. It’s more than just a product — it’s a commitment to ditching single-use plastic for good. The wrap’s compostable nature means it won’t linger in landfills or oceans, and switching to it supports a circular economy where materials return to the earth safely. This shift is crucial for companies aiming to reduce their environmental footprint and lead the charge toward sustainability.

The Future of Packaging for Homes and Businesses
Looking ahead, this compostable stretch wrap represents a bright future for packaging. It’s a solution that’s not only innovative but also practical and scalable. Whether for home use or business needs, it offers a way to reduce plastic waste dramatically. The project’s success so far — saving millions of metres of traditional wrap from landfill — is just the beginning. With continued innovation and adoption, it’s poised to reshape how packaging supports a healthier planet.
