Compost-A-Pak® Bin Liners are Australian Certified Compostable. Just as convenient, these plastic free liners are made of waste corn, and so make the transition to a more sustainable solution a simple choice. Proven to increase organic diversion in community programs, we recommend the 8 Litre capacity liner for the Kitchen Caddy (CPK8L-R52-62C). These liners are also available in a Retail Presentation Pack (CPK8L-R52-45O).

Vented Kitchen Caddy
Vented Caddies have been the predominant Food Organics, Garden Organics (FOGO) solution in South Australia for years, as a result of local studies which concluded that Vented Caddies increased food waste diversion and continuing participation in FOGO Programs.
The ventilation encouraged around the breathable Compost-A-Pak® liners in this unit also allows moisture to escape, resulting in less condensation and reduced smells.
This Vented Caddy is specifically designed, printed and manufactured in Australia, for Australian families. Designed by industry experts, this Caddy features a number of unique features including the educational in-mould label, flexible lid design, arched base ribs and liquid capture wells.
Reflecting our team’s commitment to the circular economy, the unit can be manufactured from up to 100% Post-Consumer Recycled Content, usually collected from the contents of council roadside collection bins. The standard option currently includes a minimum of 80% Post-Consumer recycled content.
In Australia, approximately half of household waste is organic. As such, a successful council organics diversion program can have a significant impact in reducing community landfill rates, however the key to success is education.
This Vented Caddy builds upon the proven success of our previous conventional caddy. In an industry first, improved technology enables a full colour flyer to be inserted into the caddy lid during manufacture. As a result, educational messages are embedded under the plastic in an in-mould label, ensuring they are resistant to scratching or fading. It’s an educational reminder for users every time they divert their food waste.
The unit is also designed to optimise air circulation around the breathable Compost-A-Pak® Liners , which allows moisture to escape, minimising condensation and odours.
The in-mould label is bordered by ventilation holes on the lid. The base also features full length aeration slots on all four sides providing about 70 per cent aeration on each face of the Vented Caddy. The unique base includes a significant proportion of vents, recessed into the caddy. As a result, the liner sits off the bench and so any moisture tends to be held within the liquid capture wells formed, reducing the risk of leaks. The base rib of the caddy on which the unit sits is also uniquely arched to optimise ventilation underneath the unit, an important design feature.
The convenient 7 Litre unit features the single sturdy carry handle, and lockable, snap fitting lid, which flips back to create a full opening for plate scraping. A rear mounting tab allows the unit to be attached to a wall or under-sink door.
Our standard unit is made with at least 80% Post-Consumer Recycled Content. We regularly work with Councils on unique FOGO designs, with a range of custom coloured caddies available to be manufactured in Australia from up to 100% Post-Consumer Recycled Content.

Composter Bin
The Composter Bin can dramatically improve residential sustainability, enabling organic garden and kitchen waste to be diverted from landfill and transformed into top quality, nutrient rich compost.
Easy Bin
The Easy Bin is a convenient, ergonomically designed 47 Litre organic waste bin. The effective design makes it ‘easy’ to consolidate food waste collected from your Kitchen Caddy, in preparation for collection and composting. Manufactured to the highest standards, this unit is suitable for both domestic or commercial environments.
Wheelie Bins
This durable range of Wheelie Bins is the perfect solution to ensure your colour coded recycling program is consistent across all areas, and that consolidated organic waste is separated efficiently in BOH areas.
Educational In-Mould Label
New technology enables a full colour flyer to be inserted into the caddy lid during manufacture. Embedded under the plastic and so resistant to scratching or fading, this allows your chosen educational messages to be presented to the user every time food waste is diverted, optimising results.
The insert itself is designed in a similar way to a marketing flyer and so, it can feature full colour detail, customised logos, and even photos. *
Customise Your Colours
Manufactured to order, we can even customise the colour of your lids and base to match your specific organics program or colour preference. Dark colours maximise the opportunity to use Post-Consumer Recycled content.*
*Minimum order quantities and additional costs may apply.

Organics
Over half of the average Australian household’s waste is food waste. In fact, the average family throws out approximately 1 of every 5 bags of food they purchase. Diverting this waste from landfill to either home composters or commercial composting facilities can have significant environmental benefits, with the resulting nutrients from food breaking down into compost, which can be used to nourish the soil for future crops or community gardens.
Alternatively, when such precious organic matter is simply thrown away with other mixed waste, the resulting Landfill sites can emit air pollution including methane gas which is linked to global warming, as well as causing soil and water pollution impacting on local plants and animals.
Our Kitchen Caddy system is proven successful in supporting the communities to divert their food waste to be composted. Convenient with guided educational instructions, the solution is recycling just as nature intended.
