We are a materials science company on a mission to end the human reliance on traditional plastics.
We are greater than good.
We're the people to do it
We're Jordy and Julia Kay, the Co-founders of Great Wrap, and we're reimagining today's materials to solve tomorrow's problems.
Our former careers in winemaking and architecture, led us to Great Wrap when we recognised the sheer impact plastic waste was having on the land. There was a materials revolution around us, and everything was changing rapidly — yet plastic stayed the same. We knew the technology existed to end plastic waste, but there weren't any products available. So we invented the products we knew the world was missing.
We're driven by impact, fuelled by demand and have a 10-year vision for a world where plastic doesn't exist.
Award-winning
Since our conception in 2019, we have been lucky enough to have a profound impact on the people and businesses around us.
We’ve been recognised globally in ways we couldn’t have dreamed of, such as the Melbourne Awards, Fast Company, Good Design Awards, The Design Files, The Circle Awards and Young Victorian of the Year. We are incredibly humbled by the level of admiration we’ve received.
People who care
We’re a team of scientists, manufacturers, storytellers, and strategists.
We’re proudly creating local jobs across the country, and offer a positive and empowering culture for our team and community.
Our Impact Team was built by our dedicated and inspired team leaders who want to see Great Wrap achieve long-term goals that have a positive impact on the planet. They are helping us educate our community about composting, ensure we’re 100% accountable and reach millions of people worldwide with our story.
Why compostable materials are the future
The rapidly changing world of packaging is intimidating for businesses and consumers, and no one wants to cause more harm than good. By creating more compostable solutions, we are making it easier for people and businesses to adopt materials that aren’t destined for landfill.
Composting — where to start?
A third of the world's food is wasted, amounting to 1.3 billion tonnes annually. This high quantity of waste going to landfills leads to rising levels of greenhouse gas emissions. So if you don't already compost, it's time to start.
There are many choices for at-home compost facilities, from tumblers and bokashi bins to above-ground worm farms. You can even make your own. So decide what is right for you, do some basic research on starting your bin, and get composting.
The science
It’s proven that you can’t build a materials science company without a team of scientists to support you. This is why we launched Great Lab.
Great Lab is the innovation and technology department at Great Wrap. They research, analyse and conceptualise our ideal solutions — all based on science. We will always use the best materials within Great Lab and never stop searching for ways to improve our products.
Our PhD Candidate and College Head at Monash University, Eddie Attenborough, is an integral part of Great Lab. He is dedicated to fueling the pursuit of compostable materials. Currently, Eddie is focused on converting materials into a marine degradable film called PHA.
