Our Commitment to Sustainable Packaging
100% recyclable materials, flexible recycled content blends, and APCO membership — providing the verifiable sustainability credentials that corporate procurement teams require.
Sustainability Without Compromise
The Australian packaging industry is undergoing a fundamental shift. Corporate buyers, major retailers, and regulatory frameworks are converging on a single requirement: verifiable, measurable sustainability credentials. For food manufacturers, this means that packaging suppliers must be able to demonstrate — not just claim — their environmental performance.
At Cinex Plastics, our sustainability commitment is built into our manufacturing process. Every material we use is 100% recyclable. Every tray we produce can be specified with a custom recycled content percentage — from 0% virgin material to 100% post-consumer recycled — to meet the exact requirements of our clients.
As a member of the Australian Packaging Covenant Organisation (APCO), we are committed to the principles of the circular economy and actively work with our clients to design packaging that minimises environmental impact without compromising on food safety, product protection, or brand presentation.
