Compostable bags & films

Compostable Liners and Bags are the essential waste diversion product for your home, business, or zero-waste event. These compostable plastic bags are made with renewable resources,CIPET(CENTRAL INSTITUTE OF PLASTIC TECHNOLOGY) certified compostable and IS/ISO 17088 compliant. Compostable bags are that will be composted in a period of 180 days as per CIPET report. For operations with a public-facing component, asking the public to put food scraps in their own separate bin is an uphill battle. Many people simply put everything in one bin and don’t take the time to read bin signage.

If you use conventional packaging, it is very likely that non- compostable plastic cups and cutlery will end up with the food. Most composter’s have a limit on the level of “contamination” they will accept because it won’t break down, is expensive to remove, and decreases the value of the finished compost. No one wants bits of plastic in their garden. This is where compostable packaging can help. It allows people to put their half-eaten sandwich in the same bin as the compostable plate because this type of packaging will break down into healthy nutrients for soil. This makes things much easier for the foodservice operator. While a sort to remove non-compostable contamination may still be necessary, shifting to all compostable packaging significantly reduces the food service operator’s efforts to compost their organics.
