About Us
This Is Hero Packaging.
Created by Anaita and Vik, a husband and wife team from Sydney. We make Earth-saving, home-compostable, zero-waste packaging products that are also kinda cute. But don't let the cuteness fool you.
Our company is serious about making a difference. We've been around since mid-2018 and have supplied tens of millions of home compostable mailers globally. We're a Certified B Corporation, Carbon Neutral, and our products are certified compostable to the highest global standards.
We Donate Over 20% of All Profits to Charity
From 2022, we officially committed to donating at least 20% of all profits to charity. So far, we have contributed to Greening Australia, OzHarvest, Children's Ground, and Starlight Children's Foundation.
Founded By Us.
We are Vik and Anaita, a husband and wife duo committed to removing single-use plastic from packaging on a global scale.
We are business owners, parents of three little girls and two dogs. The reason we run Hero is so we can work together, give back, and do good for the planet.
We now have a team of 18 amazing people who keep the wheels turning and our customers happy.
Hero Packaging Today
Our Head Office is in Australia but we ship all our products globally. On a daily basis, we send thousands of HEROPACKs around the world.
We have saved over 40,000,000 plastic mailers from entering the planet — 40 million single-use plastic bags stopped in their tracks.
We work with small to large businesses globally:
New Products
We started with compostable mailers and now have a full range of sustainable packaging products — including custom packaging produced in-house in Sydney.
How Did It All Start?
-
1Hero was born from our first e-commerce retail business, where we were shipping 80–100 products a day in plastic. Seeing the waste we created horrified us — and we were just one business.
-
2We went to a retail sustainability conference and discovered incredible innovation — pineapple leather, hemp fabrics — but no eco-friendly solution for plastic shipping mailers. That gap became our mission.
-
3After testing a bazillion different materials, we found one that was compostable, waterproof, and super durable — performing like plastic in shipping, but breaking down in a compostable environment.
-
4We posted about it on social media and the response was phenomenal. So we put our business hats back on, visited our manufacturer, and developed the mailers you see today.
What Did We Learn Along the Way?
We've learned that sustainability is a journey, not a destination. We continue working hard to ensure our products and business practices are as sustainable as possible.
We've learned the importance of educating customers on how to correctly dispose of our products so they end up in compost — not landfill.
We didn't solve the plastic problem — but we did find a great replacement for single-use plastic mailers. Our goal is to keep pushing boundaries and make it easier for businesses everywhere to make the switch to sustainable packaging.
