FAQ

Which is better: biodegradable vs compostable?

Compostable packaging is always biodegradable, but it meets stricter standards. It breaks down under industrial composting conditions into water, carbon dioxide, and organic matter without leaving harmful residues.

Biodegradable packaging will eventually break down but may take much longer, and its byproducts can sometimes include microplastics.

What’s the difference between at-home vs industrial compostables?

Industrial compostable packaging breaks down under controlled conditions—high heat, moisture, and microbial activity—usually in 90–180 days.

At-home compostable packaging is designed to break down in a backyard compost bin but often takes longer and may not fully decompose if conditions aren’t ideal. Industrial composting is faster and more reliable for consistent results.

Is compostable packaging better than recyclable?

It depends on your goals. Compostable packaging breaks down into natural elements under industrial composting conditions, reducing landfill waste. Recyclable packaging can be reused in new products, reducing the need for virgin materials. Both are eco-friendly, but compostable packaging is ideal for products aiming for a zero-waste end-of-life, while recyclable packaging is best if your priority is material recovery and circularity.

Do your recyclable films perform as well as your regular films?

Yes. Our recyclable films are designed to maintain the same high barrier protection, sealability, and printing quality as our standard films. You get eco-friendly packaging without compromising on performance, durability, or product presentation.
