DoorDash has partnered with sustainable packaging provider BioPak to launch a new online shopping portal where merchants can purchase sustainable packaging products, including ones with DoorDash certification.

DoorDash said its merchants will now have access to a new shop, where they can create an account on BioPak’s shopping portal using their DoorDash credentials and enjoy exclusive pricing when purchasing sustainable packaging products, such as sugarcane containers and paper bags, for their takeaway and delivery needs.

Offering its sustainable packaging solutions in Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, the UK and Europe, BioPak said it is on a mission to create a world without waste, where all product design - from raw material to disposal - puts the environment first.

As a certified B Corp, BioPak says its plant-based, compostable packaging is the solution for DoorDash merchants working to reduce waste and adhere to sustainability standards. 

BioPak CEO Gary Smith said: “the partnership with DoorDash is an important step in our fight to achieve a zero waste future. At BioPak, we’re committed to disrupting the traditional packaging model, and creating compostable solutions that can be adopted by businesses across Australia and the APAC region, and changing consumer behaviours to adopt only circular economy solutions.”

Rebecca Burrows, DoorDash’s general manager for Australia, said: “DoorDash is committed to offering merchants affordable and sustainable packaging solutions, while supporting them in their environmental ambitions. With 30,000 merchants using the DoorDash platform in Australia, we’re proud that the partnership will have a huge impact.”
