DoorDash and BioPak: A Partnership for a Greener Future
DoorDash has teamed up with BioPak to provide its customers with eco-friendly packaging options, helping them achieve their sustainability targets while maintaining affordability and convenience. To facilitate this partnership, BioPak has designed a custom online ordering portal for DoorDash's customers, featuring DoorDash branding, special pricing, and customised packaging options.
With this new one-stop shop, DoorDash merchants can now create an account using their DoorDash credentials and enjoy exclusive pricing when purchasing sustainable packaging products such as sugarcane containers and paper bags for their takeaway and delivery needs. Moreover, BioPak has collaborated with DoorDash to design custom paper bags that can be easily ordered via the portal, further enhancing the customer experience.

Sustainably Sourced Paper Bags: The Future of Food Packaging
BioPak's FSC™ Mix certified paper bags are made from responsibly sourced and produced paper, ensuring minimal impact on the environment. These bags are home and industrially compostable and can be recycled if not contaminated by food. The Forest Stewardship Council™ (FSC™) certification guarantees that the paper used in these bags comes from responsibly managed forests, contributing to the preservation of our planet's resources.
BioPak's unlined, FSC™ Mix certified paper bags offer an environmentally friendly alternative to conventional plastic bags. In addition, these bags are durable and strong, making them perfect for carrying meals from QSRs to customers' homes, as their sturdy design ensures durability during transportation.
Being naturally compostable, these bags are suitable for both home and industrial composting and can also be recycled in your normal kerbside recycling if not contaminated with food.
The Environmental Impact of Plastic Bags and the Need for Change
The widespread use of single-use plastic items has led to significant environmental problems, as many of these products cannot be recycled and end up in landfills, waterways, and wildlife habitats. This not only harms the wildlife that ingests our waste, but the depletion of certain species can also have a major, detrimental impact on our ecosystem. The time has come for businesses to move away from plastic bags and embrace sustainable alternatives like BioPak's takeaway paper bags.
In Australia, businesses can receive hefty fines if caught using plastic bags. It is essential for businesses to educate themselves on state single-use plastic bans and make the switch to eco-friendly alternatives to avoid penalties.
