BioPak is launching its ‘Give Back Friday’ campaign, running from 29 November to 27 December, to support Rainforest Rescue, a not-for-profit organisation focused on rainforest protection and restoration.

The campaign offers over 50 per cent off BioPak’s Black Paper BioStraws, with $12.50 from every carton sold donated to Rainforest Rescue. According to the company, each purchase funds the planting and maintenance of one native tree. Donations are capped at $20,000 across Australia and New Zealand, with the campaign aiming to plant up to 1600 trees.

Gary Smith, CEO of BioPak, encouraged other businesses to contribute. “We urge our customers to match or beat our donation of $12.50 for every carton sold, an act that can help plant one tree. While seemingly small, the significant impact of each tree has a huge knock-on effect in repairing damaged rainforests, sequestering carbon, and enhancing biodiversity,” Smith said.

BioPak’s Black Paper BioStraws are made from 4-ply FSC Mix Certified Paper and meet European home composting standards (NF T51-800). The individually wrapped straws are delivered in shelf-ready boxes with inbuilt dispensers.

Rainforest Rescue CEO Branden Barber highlighted the importance of business support. “Our work relies on the generous contributions of businesses like BioPak. Their support helps us protect and restore rainforests, making a tangible difference,” Barber said.
