Planet Pak

At Planet Pak, we believe small changes can make a big impact – especially when they’re made at scale.

We’re an Australian-owned company on a mission to help hospitality businesses transition away from paper straws and wooden cutlery by offering certified home compostable alternatives that don’t compromise on quality, safety, or customer experience.

Our premium straws are made from naturally occurring, plant-based materials that meet Australia’s strict AS5810 home compostable standards. That means they break down in your backyard compost, not centuries from now in a landfill or the ocean.

We supply a growing range of eco-packaging solutions, with a focus on:

  • Functional, stylish design

  • Full compliance with Australian environmental laws

  • Honest, verifiable sustainability claims

We’re not here to greenwash – we’re here to offer real solutions for a cleaner planet. With decades of combined experience in hospitality and supply chain logistics, we understand the pressures businesses face. Our goal is to make the eco choice the easy choice.

From cafés and restaurants to hotels and large-scale distributors, we work with hospitality brands that want to do better for their customers and for the environment. Whether you’re ordering a box or a pallet load, we’re ready to supply you.

In collaboration with the Australian Bioplastics Association, we’ve ensured that all our products positively impact both humans and the environment.
