Why Compostable Food Packaging?

Compostable food packaging lasts as long as it is needed and then can be turned into another valuable resource: compost. It offers a closed loop solution to food packaging, a major cause of pollution and litter in our environment and oceans.

Compostable food packaging is made from renewable plant based raw materials such as sugar cane waste fibers, maize, potato starches and recycled paper. Excellent  – a low impact product.

After use compostable food packaging can be thrown away in compost bins and will completely biodegrade into healthy compost for more plants to grow. Even better – a positive impact! Even if it does end up in the bin, it will biodegrade into natural components and won’t sit around for generations after it was used.
