Our founders, Kate and Becs, started #BetterPackaging not because they love packaging – but the opposite. They couldn’t stand seeing how much virgin plastic was being used to package online orders and knew there had to be a Better way. And there was!
Now our packaging cleans up plastic pollution, supports communities, and tackles climate change.
🌍The journey’s just beginning… follow along to be part of the solution!

Most packaging today is made from virgin plastic, used once, then tossed. In many parts of South-East Asia, that often means it ends up as litter, eventually flowing into the ocean where it becomes almost impossible to retrieve let alone recycle.
That’s where the POLLAST!C Project flips the script.
Instead of creating more plastic, we recover it — collecting pollution from coastal communities that lack proper waste infrastructure. It’s then sorted, recycled, and turned into useful packaging like mailers, garment bags, and pallet wrap.
The result? Less plastic making its way to the ocean, less need for new plastic, and packaging that actually helps clean up the planet.

Join Becs as she takes us behind the scenes to see the work we’re doing (with your help!) to clean up #plasticpollution in Southeast Asia. It’s incredible to see the scale of the impact not only on the environment, but also to meet some of the individuals we are able to give employment to.

Doing the work but staying quiet about it? 👀
There's a name for that — greenhushing — and it's holding our industry back and yours!
We get it. Greenwashing accusations are scary. Your supply chain is complicated. Your progress feels too small to shout about. But when brands say nothing, it's easy for everyone to assume they're doing nothing.
Here's what actually happens when you share the imperfect, in-progress stuff: others follow. The bar rises. The whole industry moves forward.
Sustainability is a journey, not a destination. ✨ Talk about yours.

What is Ocean Bound Plastic?
To be certified Ocean Bound Plastic (OBP), the plastic we rescue must meet 3 criteria:
1. abandoned or would-be abandoned
2. in an area with no waste infrastructure
3. and within 50km of the coastline.
The POLLAST!C Project transforms what would have polluted the environment into purposeful, sustainable packaging for your brand. 🌱✨
When brands work with dozens of suppliers, garment poly bags often end up inconsistent - from materials and quality to texture and branding.
Our Direct to Supplier process helps apparel customers move their garment poly bags to POLLAST!C, without adding extra work. Resulting in consistent, high‑quality, sustainable poly bags.

@sydney_marathon needed gear bags that could handle race day… without costing the planet. Our POLLAST!C bags made it possible transforming Ocean Bound Plastic into tens of thousands of durable, high-performance bags. Check out the video, link in bio
Our mailers don’t just travel, they trek. Tested by our founder in the Southern Alps where it was 1°C… and they still stuck and held strong.
Built for the wild. Ready for your deliveries. Sustainable and adventure‑proof.

Poor quality mailers is a sustainability issue!
When parcels or their contents get lost, replacing them effectively doubles the environmental footprint of that order … not good peeps, not good at all.
High quality mailers will protect your goods and help keep your carbon footprint to a minimum! Better Packaging guarantees the quality of our mailers, learn more about what this means. Link in bio.

Proud moment!
We’ve been recognised as the Top B2B Solution at the 2026 Power Retail Awards.
This win reflects the work we've been doing to make sustainable packaging easier and more accessible for our brand partners and their manufacturers around the world.
Thank you to our team for caring so deeply about the work we do, to our customers for believing in better, and the incredible team @powerretail for an insanely fun night.
Do your parcels arrive intact, with their contents inside, every time? If the answer is no, then you probably need a better-quality poly mailer. What do you need to look for in a high-quality mailing satchel? We’re so pleased you asked … link in bio

One of the last few pre- Christmas packages going out with our loyalty cards, in our Pollastic @betterpackagingco bags.
Such great ways to package goods ethically, reconstituted from ocean- bound plastic pollution. 🐳🐋🐬
We got onto these through @ripple.movement.nz who kindly donated bags they weren't using to us here @florencesavesclothes . Thank you Michelle!!
*and yes, those are little dinosaur shapes cut into the loyalty cards. A left over treasure from kids' school days🦎...always good to use what you have 😁
