PakTech are driven by a vision of sustainability and innovation in the food and drink packaging industry. With significant organic growth in Australia, expanding the brands presence by establishing a contract manufacturing facility in Victoria and forming a proprietary partnership with Visy. Our goal is to meet the increasing demands for sustainable packaging and practices, while also contributing to the Australian circular economy.
Our existing customers in Australia and New Zealand, such as Hawkers Brewery, Billson’s of Beechworth, and The Apple Press, have recognized the importance of sustainable packaging and practices. As public demand for eco-friendly solutions continues to rise, we are excited to bring our expertise and experience to Australia.
“Australia’s buying habits are very similar to ours in the US. We’ve seen significant organic growth in recent years, and we forecast that this will continue in the coming years. Establishing an on-the-ground local footprint in the region is incredibly exciting, not only for PakTech but for our customers and everyone in Australia who cares about sustainability and our impact on the environment,” says CEO Brandon Rogers.
By launching in Australia, we are assisting our customers in meeting their customer needs as well as regulatory requirements. As ESG pressures increase and transparency becomes crucial, companies are setting sustainability goals. However, instead of aiming for recycled content goals for the future, PakTech enables businesses to utilize 100% recycled content today. We are thrilled to join the Australian market and contribute to a more sustainable future.
Fulfilling the Australian Circular Economy
At PakTech, the circular economy model is at the heart of our business. Our entry into Australia is not just about expanding our operations, but also about bringing the circular economy vision to life. Through our partnership with Visy, we manufacture in Australia using 100% recycled Australian plastic, which can be further recycled and repurposed into new packaging handles.
PakTech handles are made from 100% recycled HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene), a Type 2 polyethylene thermoplastic. Since adopting 100% recycled material, we have recycled nearly one billion milk jugs, saved 120 million pounds of plastics from landfills and oceans, and preserved almost 50 acres of land from landfill waste by transforming recycled containers into PakTech products.
