Whether you are pitching a tent near the pristine white sands of Jervis Bay (NSW) or hiking through the beloved Wilsons Promontory ("The Prom") in Victoria, we all love the Aussie bush. But let's face it: dealing with rubbish at a campsite can be a hassle.

Most National Parks in NSW and Victoria, especially popular spots like The Prom and Booderee National Park (Jervis Bay), operate on a strict "Carry-in, Carry-out" policy. This means there are often no bins provided at your campsite, and you must take all your rubbish home with you.

Traditional plastic garbage bags are flimsy, they fly away in the wind, and they require a bulky frame to stay open. Enter the ultimate eco camping gear game-changer: The Self-Standing Compostable Paper Bag.

Why Campers Are Ditching Plastic for Paper

Here is why our Leak-Proof Paper Bags are becoming an essential part of camping hacks in Australia:

1. No Bin? No Worries (It Stands Up!)

Space is precious when packing the car for a trip down the coast. You don't want to carry a bulky plastic bin or a heavy metal stand just to hold a rubbish bag. Our reinforced paper bags feature a wide, structured base. You can simply open one up and place it on your picnic table or by the campfire. It stands upright on its own—a truly portable camping bin that folds flat when not in use.

2. Leak-Proof for the Drive Home

The worst part of the "Carry-out" rule is the fear of "bin juice" leaking in your boot on the long drive home from Jervis Bay. We have tested our bags to be 72-hour leak-proof. They are designed to hold wet food scraps, coffee grounds from your morning brew, and veggie peels without falling apart.

3. Leave No Trace (Plastic-Free)

Nothing ruins a pristine campsite like microplastics. By using a plastic-free bin liner, you are ensuring that even if the wind picks up, you aren't contributing to plastic pollution. It aligns perfectly with the Leave No Trace Australia philosophy promoted by parks across NSW and VIC.

How to Use It at Your Campsite

  1. Pack Flat: Slide a 120-pack of paper bags under your car seat (they take up zero space).

  2. Pop it Open: Place one on your camp table for food prep waste.

  3. Seal it Up: When full, simply fold the top down. The breathable paper helps reduce smells compared to sweating plastic bags—essential for keeping wildlife away at The Prom.

  4. Pack it Out: Toss the sealed bag into your main rubbish collection or take it home to your general waste or compost bin.
