Certified compostable packaging is now available to DoorDash merchants across South Australia and Western Australia through an online shopping platform.
DoorDash’s partnership with leading sustainable packaging provider BioPak, offers restaurants and cafes across SA and WA adjusting to the single-use plastic ban an online shopping portal where they can enjoy exclusive pricing on sustainable packaging products, including DoorDash FSC certified bags.
The partnership reflects DoorDash’s commitment to helping merchants reduce environmental impact and meet their sustainability goals in an easy affordable way, while adapting to local regulations.
DoorDash merchants can access a new one-stop shop where they can create an account on BioPak’s shopping portal using their DoorDash credentials and benefit from exclusive pricing when purchasing sustainable packaging products such as sugarcane containers and paper bags for takeaway and delivery needs.
DoorDash also announced the availability of its Red Bags for its partners in SA and WA, where single-use plastics are being phased out. These durable, eco-friendly bags align with local regulations and offer a sustainable alternative to single-use plastics.
These initiatives are part of DoorDash’s sustainability goal to combat waste by helping local businesses adopt reusable, recyclable, and compostable packaging. In 2023, with the help of restaurant partners, DoorDash played a key role in diverting 133,971kg of plastic waste from landfills.
DoorDash Australia general manager, Puji Fernando said, “By providing merchants with sustainable packaging, including red bags and compostable containers, we continue to support their environmental goals while also aligning with broader initiatives to reduce plastic waste across the country.”
BioPak CEO, Gary Smith added, “The partnership with DoorDash is an important step in our fight to achieve a Zero Waste future. At BioPak, we’re committed to disrupting the traditional packaging model and creating compostable solutions that can be adopted by businesses across Australia and APAC, changing consumer behaviours to adopt only circular economy solutions.”
