Benjamin Young, the entrepreneur behind reusable products company frank green, has developed a new venture, No Wrap, which replaces single-use plastic pallet wrap with a modular system of reusable corner brackets and high-tension straps designed to fit existing pallets.
According to the company, Australian companies use around 100,000 tonnes of plastic pallet wrap each year, growing at 3 per cent annually, with 95 per cent discarded after a single use. Globally, plastic pallet wrap generates about 6 million tonnes of waste annually.
No Wrap’s system comprises reusable Backbone Corners and Loop & Lock straps, alongside steel anchor brackets that secure loads without the need for wrapping. The hardware is designed, patented, and manufactured in Victoria and can be applied without power or fixed machinery, allowing pallets to be secured at the point of picking or container destuffing.
The interlocking corner brackets enable a “build-to-height” frame for loads between 600mm and 1800mm, while polypropylene construction is specified for durability over a 10,000-cycle lifespan. The straps are made from 100 per cent vinyl with an anti-tear weave and are certified to Australian National Heavy Vehicle Regulator standards.
The system includes under-pallet anchoring with vertical tension applied across the load, and a base bracket that locks beneath the pallet spine for stability. According to the company, warehouse teams can access individual cartons without fully unwrapping pallets, and the upright application removes the need for workers to bend or circle loads.
The hardware costs AUD $59.95 per kit for a standard pallet configuration, with enterprise rental priced at AUD $5.95 per month per kit. An ESG platform is offered via subscription, based on usage, data integration, and certification modules.
No Wrap estimates average enterprise savings of $23–$27 per pallet annually across wrap, labour, and disposal, alongside $8–$12 per month in avoided audit preparation and Scope 3 mapping costs. The company states the system delivers a return on investment of three to seven times within 12–18 months.
The launch comes as oil-based plastic wrap prices have risen by 25 per cent in recent months, which the company attributes to the war in Iran increasing costs for businesses. The system is endorsed by Sustainability Victoria.
“My vision is to make single-use plastic pallet wrap extinct,” said Benjamin Young, founder of No Wrap.
“Almost everything we buy in retail, healthcare, supermarkets or department stores is at some point transported on a pallet and the boxes are secured in position using plastic wrap.”
“This is not just a plastic wrap replacement. It’s the future operating system for sustainable logistics because it simply makes sense and is cheaper, faster and safer than plastic wrap.”
Young said the system had already been deployed within frank green’s Dandenong South warehouse, where it eliminated approximately 7 tonnes of plastic wrapping annually.
“We removed plastic wrap from our business and cut minutes of wrapping time per pallet. Our operations team prefer it because it’s easier and safer, because there are no cutters – and our waste bins stay empty.”
The company positions the system against a global packaging sector valued at $10 billion that relies on single-use materials.
Young said regulatory and financial pressures are also influencing adoption. Under mandatory climate-related financial disclosures, businesses are required to account for emissions such as plastic use within financial reporting.
Environmental, Social and Governance metrics are increasingly affecting access to capital, insurance premiums, and mergers and acquisitions, while tender requirements across retail, transport, technology, and public sectors now include carbon audits.
In Australia, companies captured under the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act must report emissions data to the Clean Energy Regulator, with civil penalties of up to $444,000 per breach for non-compliance.
“In the coming 12–24 months, Scope 3 readiness will define your access to major customers, contracts, and possibly capital. Failing to act is no longer just non-compliance – it’s commercial negligence,” Young said.
