What onya life does

Onya Life is an Australian-owned consumer-goods company founded in 2004 and headquartered in Bracken Ridge, Queensland. It designs and sells reusable bags, food wraps, bottles, and kits made from recycled plastic drink bottles, serving individual consumers seeking alternatives to single-use household, shopping, and on-the-go products.

Its range includes backpacks, messenger bags, bread and produce bags, and bundled kits described as lightweight, washable, and recyclable at end of life. It sells primarily through a Shopify-powered direct-to-consumer store, supplements online sales with a stockist network, and reaches more than 50 countries with multi-currency support.

The revenue model is one-time product sales rather than subscriptions, and the supplied pricing data places kits at $26-$53. Onya Life is a certified B Corp and is described as founder-owned and bootstrapped, with no external investors disclosed. No revenue, headcount, or formal management-team data are available.
