Environmentally friendly products

We are continuing to make significant progress in ensuring our Postpak range is environmentally friendly.

  • Australia Post has introduced 15% recycled content into bubble wrap products as well as the caps used in our mailing tubes (the mailing tube itself is made of 100% recycled fibre).
  • Padded bags now have a minimum 60% recycled fibre content and 20% recycled plastic content in the bubble lining.
  • All Postpak mailing boxes have 66% recycled fibre content.
  • Most of the Postpak product range is 100% recyclable at the end of its useful life.
  • Australia Post's mailing products (including Postpak, Express Post and Parcel Post bags) are made using 30% recyclable content.

Packaging materials are available at participating Australia Post retail outlets only. For further information about available products you can also contact us.
