Each year, an estimated 36,700 tonnes of plastic bags end up in Australian landfills, not including those that become part of the litter stream.

At becausewecare™, we are committed to protecting the environment from these non-biodegradable plastics bags that take hundreds of years to break down.

An Australian-owned company, we specialise in producing and distributing biodegradable and compostable substitute plastics.
Our products are scientifically developed to break down within weeks in a compost environment, without leaving any harmful residues in the process.

becausewecare™ are the first company in the world to conform to Australian Standard AS4736-2006, and receive the new compostable certification from the Australasian Bioplastics Association (ABA). With strong industry backing, our products meet Australian, USA and European requirements. Look for the seedling logo.
Help us to help our planet and choose becausewecare™. Every compostable bag you take in place of a conventional plastic bag is a small step towards a greener, cleaner future.
