Sustainability
Children learn about protecting the environment at school, and governments are legislating for a greener world. Consumers are now actively seeking more packaging and sustainability solutions and looking for recycling logos on packaging.
Today, sustainable food packaging is a must. Tomorrow, it may be about the sustainability of your business. Clear-pak Australia seeks to be a leader in developing and promoting more recyclable plastic packaging and reusable plastic packaging – from raw materials to the point of sale.
Clear-PET® recycled PET
When we were first asked about recycled raw materials, the challenge was to find a material that was both fabricable and of equal or better quality than what was currently being used. The result was PET material made from recycled plastic water bottles, an excellent example of the intersection of packaging and sustainability.

A great recyclable alternative
If certain materials and production processes are used, recyclable plastic packaging becomes a sustainable alternative. By placing the appropriate recycle logos on the packaging, the environmental credentials of the product are communicated to the customer. This ultimately encourages the growth, recycling, and reuse of plastic products while emphasizing the importance of packaging and sustainability.
Adding the appropriate recycle logo to the packaging can be done by printing or embossing. This ensures the product is directed to the correct recycling stream, supporting sustainable food packaging design and promoting environmental awareness.
Green and Clean
Clear-pak Australia has implemented and Environmental Policy, guided by AS/NZS ISO 14001:2004 (Australian & New Zealand Environmental Standard).
Most materials used in the manufacture of our products are 100% recyclable (if printed or embossed with the appropriate recycle logo). All production processes are energy-efficient, and all factory waste is recycled using approved waste recycling streams. Clear-pak continually assesses its impact on the environment and improves processes, prioritizing packaging and sustainability at every step.
