G-COVE, an “award-winning pioneer” in sustainable packaging, has announced its expansion into Australia and New Zealand. Since 2017, G-COVE has been committed to eco-friendly innovation, earning prestigious accolades including the 2024 Green Apple Environment Award, 2025 Green World Award, French Design Award, Red Dot Award, and American Good Design Gold Award.
“G-COVE’s biodegradable plant-based fibre solutions provide a sustainable alternative to single-use plastics, aligning with global efforts to mitigate plastic waste,” says Brendon Eastlake, Regional Managing Director AU/NZ of G-Cove. “With less than 10% of plastic recycled worldwide, our mission is to lower carbon emissions and promote eco-friendly practices while maintaining the highest quality standards. To date, we have eliminated over 7.2 million tonnes of plastic and reduced over 10.8 million tonnes of CO2 emissions globally.
“Our cutting-edge innovation has led to the development of a range of biodegradable packaging that combines the natural beauty of fibre with exceptional functionality. This packaging is tailored for supermarkets, food service, and industries seeking to eliminate plastic. It reduces carbon emissions by over 60% throughout its lifecycle and fully biodegrades within 90-120 days, truly embodying the promise of being “renewable and returning to nature,” said Mr Eastlake.
“With a steadfast commitment to environmental protection and green innovation, G-COVE’s fibre-based products have gained significant recognition in international markets. We are dedicated to expanding our global reach and contributing to a sustainable, low-carbon supply chain.”
Key features of G-Cove products:
