Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about our food packaging, materials and product suitability.

What sustainable packaging solutions do you provide?

We provide a comprehensive range of sustainable food packaging, including trays, meat trays, plates, compartment plates, bowls, coffee cups with lids, clamshell boxes, burger boxes, and customised solutions. Each product is designed to combine functionality with eco-friendly innovation.

What are your packaging products made of?

Our packaging is made from molded fibre, primarily sugarcane pulp which is  a renewable by product of agricultural processes. This process creates strong, durable, and food-safe packaging that is completely compostable. All items are free from added PFAS chemicals, making them safer for people and the planet. While our packaging is reliable and functional, the absence of PFAS may slightly reduce grease resistance, so we recommend testing products in your specific operational environment.

What is moulded fibre packaging?

Moulded fibre packaging, also called moulded pulp packaging, is made from renewable plant-based fibres such as sugarcane pulp. It’s a sustainable alternative to plastic and foam packaging, designed to be durable, compostable, and kind to the environment.

Is moulded fibre packaging food-safe?

Yes. Oxypac moulded fibre packaging is 100% food-safe and microwave-safe. Every item is produced from natural fibres and manufactured in compliance with food safety standards, making it suitable for hot, cold, and greasy foods.

How does moulded fibre packaging compare to plastic?

Moulded fibre offers the same durability and protective qualities as plastic, but without the environmental cost. Unlike plastic, which can take up to 1,000 years to decompose, moulded fibre breaks down in as little as 12 weeks and leaves no harmful residue behind.

What does PFAS-free mean in your packaging?

PFAS, often called “forever chemicals,” are synthetic substances sometimes added to food packaging to make it more grease- or water-resistant. The problem is that PFAS don’t break down easily and can accumulate in the environment and even in our bodies. At Oxypac, we never add PFAS to our products. Instead, we use natural alternatives that are just as effective, giving you safe, durable packaging without the hidden risks.

Is Oxypac packaging certified compostable?

Yes. Our sugarcane pulp packaging range is certified to meet Australian Standards AS 4736 for commercial compostability and AS 5810 for home compostability. This means our products are designed to break down safely in both industrial and household composting environments, leaving no harmful residue behind.
