What is carbon neutral?

All BioPak products, as well as the organisation as a whole, are carbon neutral. This means that the greenhouse gas emissions associated with the production, transport and disposal of our products have been independently assessed and offset by investing in infrastructure and activities that offset carbon emissions.

BioPak is Climate Active (formerly NCOS) certified. Climate Active is the Australian Government’s rigorous and credible carbon neutral certification, recognised nationally and internationally. The Climate Active trademark assures that when you buy our products, you are taking genuine positive climate action.

Our long term view is to become climate positive. Climate positive means that an organisation goes beyond achieving net-zero carbon emissions to actually create an environmental benefit by removing additional carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Our customers who are composting their carbon neutral BioPak packaging are climate positive, as diverting food scraps and packaging from landfill prevents methane emissions from landfill and generates compost which improves soil quality, allowing it to sequester carbon from the atmosphere into the soil.
