Yes, it's important for plastics to be made in a way that can be recycled easily because it helps protect the environment. This is also in line with quotas set by laws. Manufacturers are encouraged to design their packing as sustainable as possible.

Sometimes bio-based plastics are not completely made from plants. Bio-based content in these plastics can be determined by using certain standards such as CEN/TS 16137 for polymers and EN 16785-1 for products. This content is usually shown as a percentage.

As policies are different, contact your local government or recycling company to confirm whether this particle is allowed. In the recycling stream, loose plastic bags are challenging to manage and can block machinery. Single-use bags may be recycled by certain recycling firms if they are packaged tightly and knotted.

Rather than being produced from oil or natural gas, biobased plastics are generated from plant resources. One may believe that this kind of plastic must biodegrade because it is derived from plants. Nonetheless, biobased plastics can be engineered to have the same structural integrity as petroleum-based polymers, and if this is the case, they will have an equivalent environmental shelf life. Biobased plastics can be designed to be compostable or biodegradable, just like petroleum-based plastics.

Here are the differences between both: (1) OK compost INDUSTRIAL (EN13432): Materials carrying this label compost only in industrial composting facilities, where higher temperatures between 55 to 60°C facilitate the breakdown process. (2) OK compost Home: Products with this label compost at lower temperatures, making them suitable for composting in home garden compost stacks as well as industrial composting facilities.

After composting, the compostable bioplastic packaging results in water, CO2, and biomass, which enrich the soil. The compost is nutrient-rich, environmentally safe, and free from micro-plastic or pollutants. Our materials and finished products undergo rigorous certification to ensure their safety and compliance with standards.

In a landfill, compostable packaging behaves like an organic waste. If exposed to moisture and oxygen in the top layers, it will compost over time. However, if buried deep without oxygen and moisture, it will remain inert.

It generally depends on the plastic thickness and the home temperatures, the home compostable product can start biodegrading within 4-8 weeks and up to 1-2 years.

Composting refers to the process of converting organic waste, such as food scraps and yard waste, into nutrient-rich soil amendment. This natural process involves the decomposition of organic materials by microorganisms and other organisms, resulting in the creation of compost. Composting is an environmentally friendly way to reduce waste and create a valuable resource for gardening and agriculture.

While “biodegradable”and“compostable”may appear to be synonymous terms, there are important differences. While everything that is compostable is technically biodegradable, not everything that is biodegradable is compostable because there are specific third-party standards and time frames associated with compostability that do not exist for biodegradability. This becomes particularly important when the terms are used to describe the end of life attributes of products and packaging.

Our compostable bags are made from renewable resources such as plant-based materials, reducing reliance on non-renewable petroleum-based resources used to produce polyethylene bags.Compostable bags, when broken down in a composting environment, contribute to the creation of nutrient-rich soil, supporting plant growth and soil health. Polyethylene bags do not provide any such benefits to the soil.Overall, compostable bags offer a more sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative to polyethylene bags, particularly for managing organic waste and reducing environmental impact.

In addition to other businesses and homes, the food service industry uses single-use plastics and foam products. Petroleum feedstocks, a non-renewable resource, are used to make the majority of single-use plastic and foam items. Furthermore, the majority of single-use plastics wind up in landfills. Because some of the products we sell can be recycled or composted, they lessen the quantity of single-use items that end up in landfills and our dependency on plastics. Our compostable products are better for the environment because they are sourced from annually renewable resources such as sugarcane bagasse, cornstarch, or wheat straw, and they can be composted in a commercial compost facility, where they will break down within 180 days. These facilities may not be available in all areas.

In order to protect the rights and interests of our customers and improve your satisfaction, we provide a series of services. These services usually include after-sales consultation, product warranty, return and exchange services, etc., aiming to provide you with a better experience after purchase, thereby enhancing your trust to us and long-term cooperation.

It's better not to put into the recycling bin.The best way to dispose of compostable products is to use home composting or send them to an industrial composting facility.

We are a professional custom provider for biodegradable and compostable plastic bags, offering custom service for your brand.

The products we carry are made from PLA, PBAT and cornstarch which are 100% biodegradable & compostable.

In a landfill, compostable packaging behaves like an organic waste. If exposed to moisture and oxygen in the top layers, it will compost over time. However, if buried deep without oxygen and moisture, it will remain inert.

Traditional plastics are manufactured from 20 different petroleum-based resins with 20 different levels of recyclability and toxicity. And petroleum is a non renewable resource and harms the environment. While our biobased plastic bags are fully biodegradable and compostable, releasing less harmful pollutants than traditional counterparts, which means producing less greenhouse gas and emitting less carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

Our Minimum Order Quantity for compostable plastic bag is one ton.

Payment for our compostable plastic products shall be made by T/T, L/C, or D/P, etc., it varies considerably according to the region that you are in.
