BioPak is supporting the work of Qantas in Reconciliation Week (27 May to 3 June) and NAIDOC Week (5-12 July) by launching the Indigenous BioCup Series of inflight coffee cups.
They are made with paper from managed plantations, with a bioplastic waterproof lining made from plants, not oil. Available nationally in 8oz and 12oz double-wall sizes, they are sold as 1000-cup cartons.
Qantas Ambassador Adam Goodes (below) helped launch the limited-edition series, which pays tribute to two aircraft in the Qantas’ Indigenous flying art series: Wunala Dreaming and Nalanji Dreaming.

Qantas was one of the first organisations to release a Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP), and has supported and employed hundreds of Indigenous Australians since 2007.
This year Qantas will launch an Elevate RAP, which is the highest level endorsed by Reconciliation Australia and reserved for organisations that demonstrate leadership.
Proceeds from the BioCups will help CorporateConnect.AB develop practical, innovative, sustainable and strategic solutions for Indigenous employment and economic advancement, in both remote and urban communities. CorporateConnect.AB works to close the gap in Indigenous disadvantage and works directly with business, government agencies, schools, not for profits and Indigenous communities to achieve improvements in education, employment and financial security and independence for Australia's original inhabitants.
