    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is Compostable food packaging?

    Compostable food packaging is typically made from materials such as paper, cardboard and also plants such as cassava, palm leaf and sugar cane. Some compostable packaging is also made from certain bioplastics.

    How does composting food packaging help the environment?

    Compostable food packaging disposes and breaks down in a way that is more environmentally friendly than other materials such as recyclable plastic. These are made from plant-based, recycled materials that can be disposed of quickly and safely in the right environmental conditions.

    Is Compostable food packaging the same as recyclable packaging?

    No, as compostable packaging is made from organic materials and are designed to decompose, leaving nutrients that can be returned to the soil.

    In short, compostable materials do not leave anything behind, whereas recyclable materials can be reused.

    Is compostable food packaging better than recyclable packaging?

    There are benefits to both types of packaging. Arguably, recyclable plastic is the preferred choice due to there being more recycling facilities in the UK than composting facilities.

    However, compostable packaging is more eco-friendly, as it can be broken down faster and more naturally, thus making it more sustainable. Compostable products also do not contain toxins like recyclable food packaging can, such as plastic.

    Is compostable food packaging biodegradable?

    They are very similar in the sense that both biodegradable and compostable packaging can decompose naturally, which makes them a viable alternative to single-use plastics.

    The main difference between the two is it's difficult to put a time frame on how long biodegradable materials break down as this is done more naturally, whereas compostable materials decompose into natural elements with a specific timeframe.

    Is compostable plastic better than biodegradable?

    Compostable plastic has to be recovered in a home or commercial compost (this depends on what the item was designed for).

    On the other hand, biodegradable plastic does not need specific conditions for breaking down the materials as compostable plastic does.

    How do I recycle Compostable food packaging?

    Ideally, compostable food packaging should be disposed of through organic waste bins.

    If you do not have access to an organic waste bin, you can alternatively use a general waste bin.

    Is all cardboard compostable?

    Yes - all of our cardboard food packaging products are compostable and biodegradable.
