ABOUT ENVIROSTAR

Purpose-built for sustainability

EnviroStar Australia is the eco-focused brand under the Austar Packaging family, founded with a single purpose: to make it easy for Australian businesses to switch to genuinely certified, high-quality sustainable packaging.

Every product in the EnviroStar range meets stringent Australian and international environmental standards - not just marketing claims. Our compostable bags are made from plant-based renewable resources like corn starch, and our paper products are FSC certified from sustainably managed forests.

With over two decades of industry experience behind us, we know what businesses actually need: products that perform under real-world conditions, arrive quickly, and come backed by expert support. EnviroStar delivers on all three.

WHY CHOOSE ENVIROSTAR

100% Certified Product Lines

Certified to AS4736 and AS5810 Australian standards, FSC Certified, Landfill Biodegradeable, plus European and BPI international standards - not just "eco-friendly" marketing.

100% plastic-free packaging

Across the EnviroStar range we are committed to eliminating conventional plastic wherever a viable alternative exists. Paper straws, birchwood cutlery, kraft paper bags, Sugarcane Lids, and honeycomb packaging are fully plastic-free. Where certified compostable bioplastic films are used - such as our bin liner range - they meet strict AS4736 and AS5810 standards, breaking down completely without leaving microplastics behind.

Tested for real-world durability

Years of material research ensure our compostable and sustainable products perform as well as their conventional counterparts.

Wholesale supply, nationwide

KNOW THE DIFFERENCE

Compostabable Vs Landfill Biodegradable

Compostable

Compostable products are made from natural plant starch and break down through microbial activity into compost - a nutrient-rich material that actively benefits soil. No toxic residue, no microplastics.

Certified to AS4736 (industrial) or AS5810 (home)
Made from renewable corn starch or plant-based materials
Breaks down in 90–365 days depending on environment
Leaves zero toxic material or microplastics behind
Recognised and certified by Australian standards bodies
Best end-of-life: commercial or home compost facility

Landfill Biodegradable

Landfill biodegradable products are engineered to break down within a landfill environment - a pragmatic option for businesses that cannot access composting infrastructure but want to reduce long-term plastic persistence.

Designed to degrade under landfill conditions
Does not require composting infrastructure to break down
A practical transition from conventional plastic bags
Degrades significantly faster than standard plastic
Available across bin liner range in multiple sizes
Best end-of-life: general waste / landfill
