How to Get the Right Compostable Pouch for Your Needs

Please consider the following factors when selecting the right compostable bags for your needs:

  • Certification: Use EN 13432 or ASTM D6400 label-enabled materials to assure biodegradability
  • Barrier Needs: Balance compostability with product protection—thicker PLA may provide sufficient moisture barrier.
