Why Australia’s Fashion Supply Chain Is Moving to Compostable Garment Bags
Our compostable garment bags—also called garment polybags, apparel bags, clothing polybags provide a plant-based, non-plastic, home-compostable solution without compromising the practicality that the Australian apparel supply chain requires.
Across Australia, apparel brands and retailers are moving away from traditional PE polybags due to:
- Increasing state-level single-use plastic bans
- Brand sustainability targets (ESG, circular packaging goals)
- Customer push for eco packaging and plastic-free garment bags
- The need for packaging that’s both supply-chain ready and home compostable
Compostable garment packaging is becoming standard across:
- National fashion retailers
- Boutique clothing labels
- Third-party distribution centres
- Garment factories exporting to Australia
Compostable Garment Bags (Transparent PBAT/PLA)
Our PBAT/PLA compostable garment bags are designed to perform exactly like traditional PE garment polybags—only better for the planet.
Material: PBAT + PLA + Plant-Based Biopolymers
Our bags are made from premium compostable resin sourced from PBAT, PLA and renewable plant starches. This blend provides:
- Excellent strength and tensile durability for apparel movement
- Smooth, soft-touch film feel preferred by garments manufacturers
- No fossil-based plastics, no microplastics, and no toxic residues
- Certified to break down naturally in a home compost environment
This composition has been widely accepted by Australian fashion brands seeking genuine compostable garment packaging rather than partial or misleading “biodegradable plastics.”
Transparency: High-Clear & Semi-Clear Options
Garment packaging requires clarity—not cloudy, milky, or flimsy alternatives.
We use a specially formulated PBAT/PLA blend to deliver:
- High-clear transparency, ideal for
- Visual QC
- Colour-shade checking
- Embroidery inspection
- Retail-ready garment presentation
- Semi-clear matte films for brands looking for a premium, natural look
- Anti-fog properties for humid packing environments
- Smooth finish compatible with barcode scanning, stickers, and labels
Our clarity is comparable to PE poly garment bags, ensuring a seamless switch across the supply chain.
