Australia and New Zealand are taking action against single-use problematic plastics.
New legislation came into effect throughout 2023, with further bans expected as the Toward 2025 National Packaging Targets approach. Legislation and compliant options differ state by state and region to region. We're staying ahead of legislative changes, so you can feel confident we've got you covered. Our easy-to-use ANZ Single-use Plastic Bans Summary outlines the bans you need to be aware of on a state by state basis. Rest assured, our extensive range of recyclable and compostable solutions offer alternatives suitable for your location.
We make responsible choices, to make your choice easy.
Australia Towards 2025
Single-use problematic plastics (SUPPs) are a topical issue nationwide as states and territories begin to roll our legislation enforcing bans against particular types of plastics.
Australia has made commitments to the Towards 2025 national packaging targets outlined by the Australian Packaging Covenant (APCO).
Ultimately, we are working towards achieving these targets with an overarching goal of reducing plastic waste pollution and protecting our wildlife and marine life.
- 100% of all Australia's packaging will be reusable, recyclable, or compostable by 2025 or earlier
- 70% of Australia's plastic packaging will be recycled or composted by 2025
- 50% average recycled content will be included across all packaging by 2025
- Phase out problematic and unnecessary single-use plastic packaging (SUPP)
PaperPak's Commitment
When made from quality, sustainable raw materials, paper bags offer equal or better strength than their plastic equivalents.
These bags have multiple end-of-life options - this means they won't contribute to environmental damage, making them a truly sustainable solution when sourced from an ethical manufacturer.
Our range of recycled carry bags are the most environmentally friendly choice. These bags are made in Australia from recycled paper fibre and are completely recyclable, compostable, and strong.
