Designed to be used just once, and then thrown away, many single-use plastic items are a huge part of the growing issue of plastic waste and pollution across the world.
As of the 1st of September 2021, Queensland is outlawing the use of single-use plastics, including plastic straws and cutlery. All Queensland businesses and not-for-profit organisations will be required to stop supplying some single-use plastic items after the ban begins, including; supermarkets, cafes, hotels, and takeaway food shops. However, certain businesses can still supply banned plastic items after the ban has started to ensure that Queenslanders with a disability or healthcare needs can still access them if necessary.
With businesses across Queensland having to rapidly change out their supply of single-use plastics for eco-friendly biodegradable alternatives, Eko Pak is offering a vast range of biodegradable and compostable products such as straws, cutlery, and packaging to fulfill the legal requirements across the state and beyond.
With many people searching for the most sustainable products to future-proof their business, Eko Pak offers a uniquely compostable solution that allows the environment to reap the benefits of this fantastic green change. Not only does Eko Pak’s range of products break down within 45-60 days as compared to paper (which decomposes over two months and plastic taking up to 20 years to decompose). Eko Pak’s products also create a compost that is full of nutrients, which is great for plants and the ecosystem.
