Sustainability & Packaging

At Peter Augustus, we believe every order should arrive at its freshest, while staying true to our commitment to sustainability. That’s why every chilled delivery is carefully packed in a thermal carton lined with VISYCELL® sustainable insulation, a biodegradable alternative to Expanded Polystyrene (EPS). It keeps your meat safe, cold, and food-grade fresh while protecting the planet.

Why VISYCELL®?

• Biodegradable and fully recyclable in kerbside collections
• 91% less impact of microplastics on aquatic environments
• 41% fewer greenhouse gas emissions compared to EPS
• 50% less water used in production
• Made in Australia with responsible manufacturing practices
• Food contact certified for safety and hygiene. Ideal for fresh food, home delivery meal kits & wine industry
• Pharmaceutical, food & beverage, personal care product compatible
• Fibre based thermal insulation, shock & impact protection
• Made with cardboard offcuts, designed for recycling in Australian kerbside bins
• Flatpack compatible
• Suitable for wet environments
  
• Maintains your box’s cool internal temperature
  

This packaging ensures your order arrives perfectly chilled while supporting a circular economy and reducing waste. Simply dispose of the insulation just like your other paper and cardboard items.
