At Compos-Pack, sustainability is viewed beyond a single material or environmental claim. Sustainable packaging decisions should consider the complete packaging structure and its intended end-of-life pathway.
A biodegradable material can break down naturally through the action of microorganisms over time. However, biodegradability alone does not automatically define the environmental performance or end-of-life pathway of a packaging material.
Compostable materials are designed to break down under specified composting conditions and, where certified, can convert into compostable outputs without toxic residue.
Plastic-free packaging solutions are designed without conventional plastic polymers and may use paper, cellulose, natural-fibre or bio-based materials depending on the structure.
Recyclable packaging can be collected and processed into new materials or products, subject to the material structure and availability of suitable recycling infrastructure.
Compos-Pack focuses on developing packaging solutions that can help businesses address environmental challenges while maintaining the performance required by modern supply chains.
Bio-based, paper-based, PLA and other appropriate material systems.
Packaging engineered around the application rather than simply replacing one material with another.
Continuous improvement in materials, technologies and manufacturing practices.
Clear and applicable compliance and certification for relevant products and structures.
Working with packaging manufacturers, brands, converters, machinery suppliers, regulators and consumers to support the transition towards more responsible packaging.
