Australian sustainable disposable packaging company BioPak has acquired packaging company Bygreen, enhancing its sustainable packaging offerings.
The acquisition brings together two players in environmentally friendly packaging, with Bygreen known for its paper straws and biodegradable products.
Australia-based Bygreen is a small, family-owned business that has expanded to serve customers nationwide. The company offers a range of sustainable packaging and products.
The company is claimed to be Australia’s top importer of eco-friendly straws, barware, and wooden tableware.
Bygreen CEO Mick Krause said: “We’re proud of what we’ve built at Bygreen and excited to be joining forces with a company as purpose-driven as BioPak.”
“With the environment at the heart of everything we do, this partnership opens the door to new opportunities, greater impact, and long-term sustainability. Joining forces with BioPak will also accelerate our growth and strengthen our shared commitment to reducing plastic waste, one product at a time.”
Established in Sydney in 2006, BioPak has worked towards combating the traditional packaging model through its diverse range of eco-friendly products. The company’s growth was further propelled by a 75% acquisition by Sweden’s Duni Group in 2018 and a subsequent investment from Australia’s Five V Capital.
BioPak CEO and co-founder Gary Smith said: “Bygreen has built a reputation for quality, integrity, and innovation, values that align closely with our own.
“This is a company that has been at the forefront of the sustainable packaging sector for more than three decades, and we are proud to build upon this legacy through our new partnership.
“Together, we will have an unmatched level of expertise, drive and passion to meet the growing demand for sustainable alternatives.”
