BioPak is reintroducing its limited-edition OzHarvest Christmas Cup, using coffee sales in November to raise funds for Australians facing food insecurity.

All 8oz and 12oz Art Series BioCups are available in single and double wall and will feature a festive design with a QR code allowing customers to donate directly to OzHarvest. BioPak will also donate five per cent of profits from all Christmas Cup sales during the month. According to the company, every dollar raised helps OzHarvest deliver two meals to people in need.

“Christmas is a time of generosity and connection,” said Richard Fine, co-founder at BioPak. “By simply enjoying a coffee, people can fund meals for those who need them most.”

The cups are certified industrially compostable, aligning with BioPak’s aim of supporting a circular economy.

Hally Lara, joint head of impact at OzHarvest, said the partnership helps raise awareness and funding at a key time of year. “We’re excited to see the return of these festive cups, which not only brighten up cafes but also provide a simple way for everyone to make a real difference,” she said.

The collaboration between BioPak and OzHarvest began in 2013 and continues to focus on creating positive social and environmental outcomes.
