Carapac

Carapac’s mission is to change the world of packaging. Carapac’s vision is to be the world leading, innovative, sustainable packaging provider that sets the standard for sustainable packaging to rise above greenwashing in the market and effectively prevents millions of tonnes of single use plastic waste being generated. Carapac is using food waste as input materials to eliminate the food waste problem and associated methane emissions. Carapac has the potential to replace more than 12.5 million tons of plastic waste which is equivalent to half of the global plastic that flows into our oceans each year (the weight of 420,000 humpback whales). Carapac was born out of The University of Sydney’s ‘Inventing the Future Program’, which calls on highly-capable graduate students from all disciplines to come together to find solutions to pressing world issues. We are experiencing a global plastic dependence crisis. Carapac offers an innovative solution to the plastic problem and a way forward for the world of packaging. Carapac materials are designed to be put back into the earth once they have served their packaging purpose.
