RePlay™

Sustainable Packaging for a Circular Future

At Bonson, we’re committed to delivering smart, sustainable packaging solutions that meet the needs of today’s businesses, while protecting the planet for tomorrow.

Our RePlay™ range supports the shift to a circular economy by reducing the use of virgin PET plastic. We currently offer:

  • Recycled PET containers — made from recycled content, helping you reduce your environmental impact without compromising performance.
  • Returnable container systems — a new reusable packaging solution designed specifically for food service to replace single-use containers,  by combining durable containers with our ‘Tap to RePlay™’ technology that enables easy return, reuse, and tracking. 

Explore our RePlay™ range below, and get in touch to find out how we can support your sustainability goals and meet growing consumer demand for better packaging choices.

Shine through the second life of the ‘replayed’ packaging

Shine through the second life of the ‘replayed’ packaging

The RePlay™ range is made with FDA approved recycled PET material (polyethylene terephthalate), meaning less virgin PET plastics are wasted with every item of RePlay™ packaging used. The range features exceptional durability and clarity similar to the virgin PET products – contributing towards a circular economy without compromising quality.

Showcase your delicious takeaway food with the crystal clear RePlay™ containers; they are ideal to streamline packaging at your bakery, cake shop, restaurant, and other food service establishments. Water and grease resistant, they offer hassle-free food handling with the tight-fitting lids.

FAQ

What percentage of recycled content is the range made of?

The percentage of recycled plastic in each product varies depending on the design, size and versatility of the product. Our goal is to continue maximising the use of recycled content in each packaging product.

Does the use of recycled plastic affect product performance?

When you use RePlay™ packaging, you can rely on the same great product experience you have come to expect from Bonson products, with the additional benefit of knowing your purchasing decision has led to a reduced impact on the environment.

Can they be recycled again?

Yes and we strongly encourage you to. PET plastics are valuable plastics that are widely accepted for kerbside recycling in New Zealand. By doing the right thing and recycling, all RePlay™ packaging can be further recycled into food packaging – this is what forms a circular economy.
