What Biogone does
Biogone (legal entity: Fieldtech Solutions Pty Ltd, ACN 157 992 419) is an Australian supplier of landfill-biodegradable and home compostable everyday plastic products, operating from a single headquarters and warehouse in Sunshine West, Victoria. The company serves Australian consumers, businesses, councils, and agricultural customers through a DTC e-commerce storefront (biogone.com.au) with 2-business-day dispatch, a wholesale and reseller channel, and custom/OEM branding services. Named customers include Officeworks, Sofitel, Zoos Victoria, McCoppins, Northcote IGA, Geelong Fresh Foods, ALBA Cheese, CERES Fair Food, EnviroShop, Budgy Smuggler, and the Museum of Applied Arts and Sciences, plus a dedicated council procurement channel.
Biogone's core technology is a proprietary organic additive blended with conventional plastic that attracts naturally occurring microbes in modern landfills, enabling biodegradation approximately 90% faster than conventional plastic without producing microplastics. Products retain the recyclability, durability, flexibility, and shelf life of conventional plastic, and certain products incorporate 30-50% post-consumer recycled content. The product portfolio spans packaging and warehouse supplies (packing tape, stretch wrap, mailing satchels, self-adhesive envelopes), bin liners (10L to 240L in both landfill-biodegradable and home-compostable variants), kitchen and food storage (cling wrap, ziplock, flat-bottom, stand-up, pouch, and sandwich bags), dog waste bags, gloves (nitrile disposable and reusable), dry-cleaning bags, agricultural films (silage wrap, hay bale net), and laboratory products. Select SKUs carry Global Green Tag and AS5810 (Australian/NZ home-compostable) certifications.
Biogone monetizes through per-unit DTC pricing (ranging from $2.42 for dog waste bags to $292.60 for hay bale nets), wholesale and bulk pricing with volume discounts, and custom branding/OEM services. The company is a privately held Australian proprietary limited company with no disclosed external funding, M&A activity, leadership changes, or parent entities. Geographic operations are confined to Australia, with Terms & Conditions restricting purchases from outside the country. No revenue, headcount, or profitability figures are disclosed in the source material.
