Safe for Food. Better for the Planet.
At Glopac, we believe sustainability should never come at the cost of safety — especially when it comes to food packaging.
Not all materials are created equal. Without certified food-grade standards, some packaging can leach harmful substances into your food. That’s why Glopac’s innovative paper board is engineered to meet strict international food safety regulations, ensuring it’s 100% safe for direct food contact.
But we didn’t stop at safety.
Our paper board is also:
Plastic-free – No hidden coatings, no microplastics
Naturally compostable – Breaks down without harming the environment.
Responsibly sourced – Made from renewable, sustainable materials
This is more than just packaging — it’s our promise to protect people and the planet.
Join us in shaping a safer, cleaner future for food packaging.
Better packaging together.
At Glopac NZ, we believe packaging should protect what matters—people, product, and planet. We design out plastic wherever possible, champion plastic-free and PFAS-free innovations, and work with partners across Aotearoa to shift the market toward responsible materials and circular systems.
This report outlines our progress, challenges, and goals. We’re transparent by design: if we don’t have a metric yet, we’ll say so—and then we’ll go and get it.

Strategy & Material Topics
We apply the Zero Waste Hierarchy and design to:
Eliminate problematic plastics at source (materials and coatings).
Reduce material throughput (lightweighting, rightsizing, reuse pilots).
Enable composting or recycling where systems are in place—and advocate for their implementation where they are not.
Verify claims via third-party standards/certifications.
Respect people and culture through fair work practices and te reo Māori integration (in partnership).
