FP Paradigm

Transaction Summary

Investment Highlights

Company Overview

FP Paradigm (FPP) is an impact investor with NewSouth Innovations, a wholly owned subsidiary of the University of New South Wales, as a shareholder, supporting projects that transform society through innovation.

To date, FPP has invested in eight projects within the Future Foods System CRC, targeting the transition of transparent food and beverage packaging away from fossil fuel–based plastics to infinitely recyclable, sustainable, and economically viable materials.

Research

FPP's cutting-edge research in 8 projects is in the 3 key areas of New Plastics Technology, Food Waste Management, and Measurement & Consumer Research.

The Big Plastic Problem
Australia’s $4 billion plastic packaging market is under urgent regulatory pressure. Over 80% of plastic packaging still ends up in landfill, with recycling rates languishing at just 13–19%, critically short of the mandated 70% national target by 2025 (APCO, 2021). This leaves billions of dollars in unmet demand for a scalable, sustainable alternative.

The Big Plastic Solution
FPP is the company with a proven infinitely recyclable packaging technology, developed through eight active projects with the Future Food Systems CRC and UNSW. Unlike other experimental approaches, our solution is economically viable, industry backed, and ready to scale. Regulation is forcing the transition, and FPP is uniquely positioned to capture this multi-billion-dollar market by delivering the sole proven pathway to Australia’s 2025 National Packaging Target.

Projects

FPP is raising A$2.4M, and the funds will be allocated to the construction and operation for its Project A pilot plant. The pilot plant will allow FPP to validate and optimize production costs. Once these are confirmed, FPP will secure off-take agreements with partners, including major F&B brands such as Arnott’s, Primo, and Perfection Fresh, and then transition directly to large-scale commercial production.
