The Food Edition is built for food businesses that need sustainable packaging that works - compliant and credible from a food-safety standpoint as much as an environmental one. Suppliers have been specifically selected for food packaging applications, covering flexible pouches, barrier laminates, and stand-up formats, alongside retail-ready boxes and selected eCommerce-capable manufacturers for brands also shipping direct to consumer.
Editorially independent: no supplier pays for inclusion. Selection is based solely on quality, reliability, and value.
Food packaging is one of the most regulated and technically demanding categories in sustainable packaging. Getting it wrong - wrong certification, wrong barrier, wrong material - can mean recalled product, legal exposure, and brand damage. This guide cuts through that risk.
Focused on food-grade materials that comply with FDA, ISO 22000, BRCGS, and EU food contact material regulations, the Food Edition gives you direct access to manufacturers who have been supplying compliant food packaging to global brands for years.
Sugarcane bagasse tableware, PLA cups and containers, plant-fiber composite trays. Certified compostable, microwave-safe, and food-contact approved.
rPET and rPP thermoformed trays, containers, and clamshells with GRS-certified recycled content. For supermarkets, food service, and prepared meal packaging.
High-barrier recyclable and compostable laminates for perishables, snacks, and prepared foods requiring oxygen, moisture, and light protection.
PFAS-free, repulpable barrier paper for cheese, meat, and fresh produce. Combines paper's natural appeal with genuine moisture and grease protection.
The Food Edition profiles manufacturers who hold the certifications food buyers need - BRCGS, FSSC 22000, FDA, ISO 22000, Halal - and who have direct experience supplying supermarkets, food service chains, and food manufacturers at scale.
Each profile includes direct contact details, MOQs, lead times, plate costs, certifications held, and an honest assessment of who each supplier is best for. The Food Edition includes manufacturers specialising in:
Food manufacturers, food service operators (cafés, QSR chains, caterers), supermarket buyers, and specialty food brands. If your primary packaging challenge is food-safe and food-grade materials, the Food Edition is purpose-built for you. If you also need films, mailers, or other non-food formats, consider the Complete Guide.
Yes. The guide covers certifications and material standards relevant to both Australian and US markets, including FSANZ-aligned food contact requirements, Australian compostability standards (AS 4736, AS 5810), and international standards like FDA and EU food contact material regulations.
We cover both end-of-life pathways in detail - including which materials qualify for which certifications, the infrastructure limitations in Australia and the US that affect what's truly "end of life compliant" for your market, and how to make defensible claims on your packaging. No greenwashing, no vague language.
The Food Edition gives you direct manufacturer access in the category where certification and compliance matter most.
