Sustainable Packaging Solution is no longer optional—it’s now essential for businesses facing the phase-out of certain plastics under Australia’s tightening packaging regulations. If your current food or logistics tray uses non-recyclable or banned polymers like PVC or PS, now’s the time to transition to future-compliant materials.
The new framework prioritises circular design, recyclability, and renewable resources. That’s where Carewell Group steps in. We help brands replace legacy plastic trays with sustainable, high-performance alternatives that maintain the same functionality—without the regulatory risk.
At Carewell Group Pty Ltd we believe a truly sustainable packaging solution is one that protects your product and the planet — which is why our eco-friendly range includes compostable mailers, recyclable trays and paper-based alternatives. Visit our Eco-Friendly Packaging Australia Guide to explore how we’re helping businesses shift away from single-use plastics, and check out our CPET Packaging Australia: Durable, Eco-Friendly Design for high-performance options that handle fridge-to-oven transitions without compromising sustainability.
What You Can Switch To
If your business is ready to move toward sustainable food packaging, there are several reliable alternatives that balance performance with environmental responsibility. At Carewell Group, we offer a range of innovative tray options designed to meet your operational, branding, and sustainability goals.
Sugarcane Bagasse Trays
Made from renewable sugarcane fibre, these fully compostable trays are both heat-resistant and sturdy — perfect for food service, catering, and takeaway packaging. They can handle hot, cold, or oily foods without leaking or warping, and they break down naturally in commercial composting environments.
rPET & rPP Trays
Crafted from recycled PET and polypropylene materials, these trays are ideal for retail and logistics applications. They combine strength and versatility with a reduced carbon footprint, allowing you to maintain durability while contributing to the circular economy.
CPET Trays
For ready meals, frozen foods, and oven-safe applications, CPET trays are a standout choice. They offer dual-oven safety, meaning they can go straight from the freezer to the microwave or conventional oven. Plus, their recyclability and long service life make them a low-impact packaging solution for modern food businesses.
Each of these options is available through Carewell’s Sustainable Packaging Solutions page, designed to help Australian brands transition smoothly to eco-friendly packaging without sacrificing quality or performance.
Each alternative is tested for strength, barrier performance, and compliance with Australian Packaging Covenant Organisation (APCO) standards.
Our R&D and materials team works closely with clients to evaluate performance needs, simulate lifecycle outcomes, and ensure smooth supply chain integration. This means you won’t just meet sustainability targets—you’ll enhance operational efficiency.
If your goal is to replace banned trays before EPR fees hit, our team can guide you through compliant material options and sample testing.
