Compost-A-Pak® is proudly an Australian family owned business. Since 2007 we have been assisting Australian Local Councils and leading businesses to reduce Landfill rates and limit plastic through the simple transition to a more sustainable option.
These innovative bin Liners are made predominantly of waste corn, and are completely plastic free. They are Australian Certified Compostable to the strictest Home Composting (AS5810) and Industrial Composting standards (AS4736).
Compost-A-Pak® has a reputation for consistent high quality. Manufactured to our unique minimum micron (um) standards, and scientifically tested, with millions of bags in use, you can be confident that you have the quality required to collect and transport your items with minimal breakages and tears.
Compost-A-Pak®'s manufacturing processes are driven by our passion for sustainability.
All Compost-A-Pak® products are made from a natural starch-based polymer derived from corn. We choose corn, as it is an annually renewable crop, unlike trees, which can take years to grow. The actual crops are sourced from international GMO-free regions with high levels of rain, to minimise irrigation, and the corn selected is third grade corn. This is basically spoilt corn, a waste product traditionally left by farmers to rot, that is not suitable for human or animal consumption.
Using purpose built biodegradable resin extruders, a resin is extracted from the combination of corn starch, biodegradable ingredients and some property elements, and from this blown film bags are formed in a range of designs and sizes. We are really proud that through re-engineering this purpose build equipment, our Liners are made with significantly less electricity consumption, compared to manufacturing on conventional extrusion equipment. The products are also printed in soy based inks, with environmental messages and information promoting their difference as a sustainable alternative to plastics. They have a recommended shelf life of twelve months.
Most importantly, Compost-A-Pak® Liners are Certified Compostable to the strictest Australian standards, for both Home Composting (AS5810) and Commercial/Industrial Composting (AS4736), as well as the relevant European, American, and Japanese standards for commercial composting.
In the same was as vegetable scraps, the products in their entirety will break down into humus, water, and carbon dioxide in a commercial composting facility in a matter of weeks. These certifications ensure you can be confident there will be no harmful residue as the Liners break down. In fact the bags are also safe for use in organic farms, food contact, animal feed and can also be used in worm farms.

CIRCULAR ECONOMY
Compost-A-Pak® products are a powerful example of the circular economy. We believe such circular economies are the key to a more sustainable future.
This product is Australian Certified Compostable for both Home Composting (AS5810) and Commercial Composting (AS4736).
The product is made predominantly of third grade corn, a waste product traditionally left by farmers to rot as it is unsuitable for human or animal consumption. The products are completely plastic free.
Just as nature intended, Compost-A-Pak® products will break down within a few weeks in a commercial composting facility, in the same way as a cob of corn would, leaving no micro-plastics or toxins. The nutrient rich compost can then be used to nourish the soil, ensuring new organic crops or community gardens can thrive.
