A Complete Guide to Choosing Compostable Packaging
Choosing the right compostable packaging for your business involves several factors, from material strength to certification. This guide walks through what actually matters.
Why sustainability matters for packaging
Businesses switching away from plastic increasingly care about sustainability as a core value, not just a marketing angle. Certified compostable packaging gives you both.
Choosing between carry bags and grocery bags
Retail carry bags need higher tensile strength than produce bags, since they carry heavier loads. Match the bag to the actual use case.
Garment bags for apparel
Garment bags protect clothing during shipping and dry cleaning, and now come in fully compostable formats too.
Certification
“Compostable” is a specific, testable claim, not a marketing label — ask for certification before switching a business over. Earth Bound Products holds CPCB certification for compostable plastic manufacturing, and products are made from PLA, PBAT and starch blends designed to break down in appropriate composting environments.
