The Eco-Products from the Detpak range were previously available only in Australia and New Zealand. 

Detpak product and brand general manager Keith Bishop expects the expansion to complement its existing range of packaging solutions. 

Bishop said: “In South East Asia and the Middle East, consumers are becoming increasingly concerned about food waste and used packaging disposal and more conscious of composting and using more products made from recycled content. 

“By expanding our product range into new and emerging international markets, we are stepping up to create a more sustainable packaging industry through compostable and plant-based materials that are better for the environment – such as the no-added PFAS Vanguard range.”

Detpak initially introduced the Vanguard range in late 2023, making it the first Australian company to offer a wide array of certified compostable, no-added PFAS sugarcane products.  

Made from renewable, moulded sugarcane fibre, the Vanguard range aligns with the growing demand for environmentally friendly packaging solutions. 

The Vanguard range uses a proprietary formulation to achieve grease resistance without the addition of PFAS, offering a sustainable alternative to traditional packaging materials. 

Detpak and US-based Eco-Products started their partnership in 2021. 

Eco-Products president Ian Jacobson said: “Both businesses have a strong strategic focus to deliver innovative and sustainable packaging solutions to the market and together we have unmatched reach in our ability to identify and commercialise innovative new solutions the [that] meet the elevated sustainability requirements of the global foodservice packaging marketplace.”
