Sustainability at Tacca
Our Commitment to a Circular Future
For over 40 years, Tacca has been driven by an unwavering pursuit to think outside the box. This isn’t just about innovative design; it’s about rethinking our responsibility to the planet. We are committed to forming a sustainable and circular economy by ensuring our products can be reused, or recycled.
Our founder, Clem Tacca, started this company with a vision to manufacture the best packaging in the country. Today, that same commitment to excellence fuels our mission to do better for the environment, respecting the changing needs of our consumers and the world we share.
Proof, Not Promises
Our Sustainable Actions, Not Just Words
We believe that sustainability must be woven into the fabric of everything we do. It’s a commitment shared by everyone at Tacca, from leadership and accounts to warehousing and design.
Sustainable Materials & Product Lifecycle
We are actively moving towards a circular model where packaging waste is designed out of the system.
- Circular Economy Focus: We design with the end in mind, creating packaging solutions intended for reuse, recycling, or industrial composting.
- Recycled Content: We offer packaging options made from recycled materials, all held to the stringent Australian Food Standards so you never have to compromise safety for sustainability.
- Reducing Waste: Our custom 3D design and prototyping process ensures your packaging is perfect from the start, minimising material waste and avoiding costly, unsustainable re-runs.
Solar-Powered Manufacturing
Our commitment starts at home. From our multi-warehouse headquarters in Moorebank, we design, manufacture, and ship to companies all over the world, powered significantly by the sun. Our state-of-the-art packaging and thermoforming machines run in a facility that harnesses clean energy, reducing our carbon footprint with every tray, clamshell, and paperboard solution we produce.
A Culture of Quality & Responsibility
We’re not concerned with cutting corners. What fires us up is focusing on outcomes that matter.
- ISO22000 Training: Every Tacca employee is trained in our comprehensive ISO22000 Management System, ensuring the highest standards of food safety and quality control are embedded in our processes.
- Long-lasting Partnerships: Our strong relationships with multinationals and small owner-operators alike are built on trust and a shared vision for a better future. We see ourselves as your partner in success, helping you meet your sustainability goals without compromising on quality.
THERMAPET
Innovation
Tacca Industries have made a significant investment in a new immerging technology developed in Europe, which through machine processing, will allow standard APET or RPET material to be used in both microwavable and ovenable applications. This is a massive game changer for our industry and the Home Meal Replacement (HMR) market globally. Not only will Thermapet trays be produced from recycled PET materials, but they will also be 100% recyclable through existing channels along with plastic bottles, trays and clamshells.
3D Design and Concepts
Let us create a completely tailored, practical, and marketable prototype to your ideal specifications, optimising for material efficiency and end-of-life recyclability from day one.

Our 24/7 operations produce your packaging on budget, on time, to national food safety standards, and from our partially solar-powered warehouse.
