Compostable packaging is certified to a specific standard (AS4736 or AS5810 in Australia) and breaks down completely within a set timeframe leaving no harmful residues. Biodegradable is an unregulated term in Australia with no set standard — biodegradable products may still leave microplastics or take decades to break down.

Yes. All Pak360 products are compliant with current single-use plastic ban legislation across all Australian states and territories. Because everything Pak360 sells is 100% compostable and plastic-free, customers never need to worry about compliance.
