The Australian Institute of Packaging (AIP) is inviting all members to attend a virtual site visit of Planet Protector Packaging (PPP), manufacturer of a disruptive product called Woolpack, on 23 June.
PPP is on a mission to eliminate polystyrene from supply chains across the globe, and this is what drove the company to develop Woolpack, which is made from 100 per cent sheep waste wool enclosed within a recyclable or compostable food grade wrap.
It is a sustainable, recyclable and home compostable alternative for shipping temperature-sensitive food, seafood, wine, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. According to PPP, independent scientific tests regularly confirm that its performance is superior to that of expanded polystyrene.
During the tour, attendees will hear the story of the development of the international award-winning Woolpack product and witness how it is manufactured, as well as learn how the product is applied to a wide variety of goods that need to be shipped over very long distances with confidence.
Woolpack has won multiple awards including Australasian Packaging Innovation & Design (PIDA) Awards and WorldStar Packaging Awards.
At the start of the year, PPP launched its Ewe Beauty Campaign, which aims to end Australia’s reliance on offshore wool processing and instead bring the process, and jobs, back to the country.
The company recently also signed a nationwide partnership with Pro-Pac Packaging as exclusive Australian distributor for the Woolpack range of cold chain packaging solutions.
