Recyclable Food Packaging for Australian Businesses

Recyclable food packaging is designed to keep valuable materials in use for longer when the correct recycling pathway is available. For food businesses, it can be one part of a practical packaging strategy alongside compostable, biodegradable and custom packaging options.

Eco Compostable can help cafés, restaurants, caterers and retailers compare recyclable packaging options with other eco packaging categories so businesses can choose products that suit their food, customer use and disposal guidance.

When Recyclable Packaging Makes Sense

Recyclable packaging can be useful for certain food and drink applications, particularly where products are clean enough for recycling and local collection systems support the material. Claims should always be clear, specific and based on the product and disposal pathway.

This page should use careful language, explaining that recyclability depends on the material, contamination level and local recycling services.
