Australian confectionery company Wallies Lollies is shifting to home compostable packaging for its Logo Sweets range, replacing traditional plastic wrapping with TIPA’s compostable alternative.
The move is part of the company’s efforts to reduce its environmental impact, with customers across industries – including Commonwealth Bank, telecommunications, hospitality, and marketing – supporting the transition.
Peter Stapelfeldt, director at Wallies Lollies, said the decision followed years of searching for a viable alternative. “Our machines produced so much plastic, and we searched for an alternative for years. When we found TIPA, we knew we had a solution that aligned with our commitment to sustainability.”
Shane Sullivan, vice-president APAC at TIPA, said Wallies Lollies’ shift highlights the role brands can play in sustainable packaging. “Wallies Lollies' transition to TIPA’s compostable packaging solutions demonstrates the power of forward-thinking brands. We applaud Peter's leadership in embracing compostable solutions.”
“For businesses seeking to differentiate, early adoption of compostable practices like this creates a tangible impact and strengthens brand loyalty in a crowded marketplace,” Sullivan added. “The TIPA team and I want to empower other brands in APAC to lead the shift away from conventional plastics, creating a truly circular economy.”
The eco-makeover doesn't stop there. Wallies Lollies has revamped its shipping materials too, opting for paper air pillows and shredded cardboard instead of polystyrene and bubble wrap.
With over three decades of experience, Wallies Lollies specialises in supplying branded confectionery to Australian businesses. Founded by Otto Stapelfeldt, a former Red Tulip sales manager, the company has grown to include Logo Sweets for promotional treats and the Happy Worms initiative, which promotes sustainable packaging solutions.
