Short Description
PAPACKS and Wandarra have partnered to develop a hemp-based packaging plant aimed at replacing fossil plastic packaging with sustainable alternatives. This initiative leverages PAPACKS’ turnkey solution, which includes equipment training and commissioning, to ensure seamless production and adoption of sustainable packaging technologies. The partnership will initially focus on the fresh produce sector in North Queensland, Australia, with plans to expand across the Asia-Pacific region. The production process involves initial testing of samples produced in Germany, followed by training of the Australian production team and commissioning of equipment at the final production site.
