Thinkpac emerged from a clear need to address a critical issue in the plastic industry. Founded by Calvin Ng, a second-generation entrepreneur, Thinkpac was born out of a family legacy. Calvin’s father, Alex Ng, pioneered the plastic bag manufacturing business in Malaysia during the late 1980s. Over time, the family business expanded into recycling post-consumer soft plastics, marking a significant shift towards sustainability.
The traditional ‘take, make, waste’ model was failing. Discussions about plastic bans and environmental challenges during Calvin’s upbringing had sparked his curiosity about sustainable business practices.
In 2014, Calvin dedicated himself to the family business and begun his business journey in Melbourne as an importer and wholesale distributor for packaging products. By 2019, he founded Thinkpac, which better reflects its mission: supplying products made from post-consumer recycled materials and driving the circular economy forward.
Calvin’s journey is personal and professional. A cherished photograph of him with his newborn and father symbolizes his dedication to creating a sustainable future for the next generation. Thinkpac is more than a business; it is a movement towards a cleaner environment, driven by a vision of sustainability and a commitment to making a lasting impact on the world.

We initially started with thinkpac bin liners because of their price competitiveness, but were pleasantly surprised by their quality and service and the sustainability message behind the range. Their wipes are also very popular amongst our major customers, they keep surprising us with the good stuff.
We love thinkpac products, and not only that, we like working with thinkpac because they really do value us as partners and Glenn has gone out of his way to help us in more ways than one.
I love that the way they operate, they are so organised with their communication and deliveries. I’ve been doing this for over 20 years and it’s refreshing to see a company that cares about their customers’ business in this game.
We’ve been with Calvin since his early days in the business and are very appreciative of his work ethic and reliability of supply.
Since we took over the business, thinkpac has been one of our key supply partners that have helped us navigate through the ups and downs in the industry. Dealing with his team is hassle free and we appreciate this heaps. Thanks Ann and team!
Our previous supplier let us down with glove and carton liner supplies, and it was good that thinkpac stepped up and helped us out when we needed a reliable and consistent supply. It’s been over a year now and our growth with thinkpac has been organic and natural.
We’ve been with Thinkpac for almost 9 years now, and we have enjoyed our partnership with them. Personable relationship, great customer service and they are constantly pushing themselves to be
better without letting down their regulars.
Our previous supplier didn’t really care about our orders even though we have been with them for a long time and were spending thousands with them. Thinkpac is the opposite of that, Glenn and his team go out of their way to keep us informed if they run into supply chain difficulties however once we committed to stick with them, they’ve never let us down.
Their knowledge of our business and product specs and requirements, and work ethics make them a good partner to have on our side.
