Flyin' Fox Ice Blocks

Flyin’ Fox ice blocks are wrapped in a marine safe, compostable cellulose film derived from wood pulp. Our wrapping has passed  internationally recognised tests to confirm it's full biodegradability in marine and waste-water environments, and home compost heaps. Normal plastic degrades in sunlight by slowly breaking down into smaller and smaller pieces of plastic. Thus, plastic which hasn’t either been recycled or burnt still exists somewhere in the environment.

​

Most of us try our best to recycle and put wrappers in bins, but let's face it packaging for this kind of product does not always get disposed of properly and much of that end up spoiling our natural environment, in some cases for hundreds of years. We don’t believe that’s acceptable when compostable films are now available which are designed to bio-degrade to natural nutrients in a year. Just because our packaging is compostable, does not mean you should be irresponsible with litter. What it does mean is that those accidents that do happen don’t have long lasting consequences.

​

Flyin’ Fox ice blocks pioneered the use of this film for frozen food. In 2009, we were the second user of this compostable film in Australasia, and were the first to use it in a frozen application. The aim is that no animals - marine or otherwise - will be killed or maimed by this packaging.
