What is Compostable Packaging Bags
Compostable packaging is typically made from renewable resources, such as plant-based materials like cornstarch, potato starch, and sugar cane. These materials are biodegradable and can be broken down by microorganisms in the composting process. The main difference between compostable packaging and other types of packaging, such as biodegradable or recyclable, is that it is specifically broken down by microorganisms and bacteria in a composting environment. This means that compostable packaging will not break down in a regular landfill, as it requires specific conditions to decompose.
It is important to note that not all plant-based materials are compostable. In order for a packaging bag to be considered compostable, it must be made from specific materials that have been tested and proven to break down in a composting environment. This is why it is important to look for certifications, such as the Biodegradable Products Institute (BPI) and European Bioplastics, when choosing compostable packaging.
Compostable packaging can be divided into industrial composting and home composting, and their processing methods are different. Different foods have different properties. Therefore, our factory will provide more reasonable packaging solutions according to customer needs.
Industrial composting
Industrial composting is to turn organic waste into nutrient-rich soil. Under controlled conditions, microorganisms degrade solids and A process in which semi-solid organic matter undergoes aerobic medium or high temperature degradation to produce stable humus. The general cycle is 180 days, but with changes in aerobic composting technology, the shortest time is 30 days or even shorter., which can then be used in agriculture or landscaping. This process is beneficial for the environment, as it reduces waste and produces a valuable resource.
Home composting
Home composting packaging is a type of packaging material that is broken down in a home composting environment. This process involves using organic waste, such as food scraps and yard waste, to create nutrient-rich soil for gardening or landscaping purposes. Home composting takes longer than industrial composting, but generally does not exceed one year at most.
