Sustainability
From plastic to paper

We are a dedicated local sustainability champion, making a practical and impactful difference with every paper bag made. For our customers, Pacific Paper represents shipping miles saved and carbon footprint impact.
What our bags are made from
The paper behind each range, and how we source it.
- Responsibly sourced paper
- We use only responsibly sourced paper to produce our range, with responsible use of inks and adhesives.
- Handle bag paper
- 80gsm high-strength handle bags are made using 100% virgin paper, responsibly sourced. 115gsm ultra-strength handle bags use an advanced two-layer duplex paper, virgin laminated with recycled, always from a responsible source.
- Plastic-free packing
- Chemist bags can be packed into cartons to achieve a plastic-free supply.
- Shipping miles saved
- By sourcing locally, our customers avoid the shipping miles and carbon footprint that come with imported packaging.
