Shotspresso has made the switch to landfill-biodegradable packaging materials provided by local supplier Biogone.
delivery in green pallet wrapping.
The Melbourne-based coffee beverage manufacturer and distributor is one of many businesses conscious of its environmental footprint. Its 50ml cold pressed coffee glass and aluminium bottles are 100% recyclable, so providing more sustainable solutions in its supply chain was a natural progression.
Shotspresso’s managing director Jay Wong said it is fundamental that Australian businesses, regardless of size and reach, do their part in making plastic smart decisions.
“I believe all manufacturing and warehousing companies that use plastic packaging daily, should consider looking into more eco-friendly alternatives.”
When customers receive their Shotspresso delivery in green pallet wrapping, they can easily see the company’s well-considered approach in using a more eco-plastic alternative and complying with the Governments’ 2025 National Packaging Targets.
Biogone offers many businesses, like Shotspresso, landfill-biodegradable products for packaging, storage and containment, such as tapes, bubble wrap, strapping and pallet wraps.
According to Dr Ross Headifen, co-founder of Biogone, the demand for biodegradable packaging materials within the industry has been steadily increasing, as small to medium-size businesses are looking at innovative and plastic responsible ways to package their products or find ways to inject the Biogone products into their business.
Landfill-biodegrade plastic can be recycled with other mainstream soft plastics and has REDcycle approval. It is also designed so that once the plastic can no longer be recycled, it can be disposed of in a general waste bin and once in a landfill, will biodegrade into an organic matter approximately over 90 per cent faster than conventional plastic packaging materials, producing a natural fertiliser and no microplastics.
“With each product we create, we are aiming to reduce the plastic build-up in landfills,” explained Headifen. “Incorporating Biogone landfill-biodegradable technology is like an insurance policy that will allow the plastic to biodegrade away when it is eventually disposed to a landfill.”
“Biogone provides high-quality biodegradable plastic packaging materials that we’ll be using for years to come,” said Wong.
