A sleek, matte black or cream-colored courier bag with a "Compostable" certification logo clearly visible.
What it is: A tough, waterproof shipping bag made from a blend of cornstarch and PBAT (a plant-based polymer). It is designed to break down in a home compost bin in 180 days.
Who uses it: Apparel brands, textile companies, and e-commerce stores shipping soft goods.
Why it’s beneficial: It’s as strong and tear-resistant as traditional plastic mailers but leaves zero microplastics behind. It allows your brand to meet the strict 2026 South African waste regulations immediately.
A roll of brown paper tape which is activated with water.
What it is: Paper tape with a starch-based adhesive that is activated by water. Once it dries, it creates a permanent chemical bond with the box.
Who uses it: Fulfillment centers and high-volume e-commerce stores that prioritize security and branding.
Why it’s beneficial: It is tamper-evident—unlike plastic tape, it cannot be peeled off without tearing the box, making it perfect for high-value items. It’s also fully recyclable with the box, so your customer doesn’t have to strip the tape off before recycling.
A beautiful, textured brown kraft paper that expands into a 3D honeycomb structure.
What it is: A 100% recyclable and biodegradable alternative to plastic bubble wrap. It is made from FSC-certified kraft paper that "locks" onto itself, meaning you don't even need tape to secure it.
Who uses it: Makers of fragile goods like ceramics, glassware, candles, cosmetics, and luxury electronics.
Why it’s beneficial: It provides superior shock absorption, takes up 80% less storage space in your warehouse than bulky bubble wrap, and gives customers a premium, plastic-free "unboxing" experience.
