FAQs

Our compostable bags are manufactured using a blend of materials including PLA, PBAT, and cornstarch, or a combination of PLA and PBAT. These materials are derived from renewable resources and are specifically chosen for their compostable properties.

Yes, our compostable bags are certified to meet a variety of globally recognized compostability standards, demonstrating their ability to break down safely in different composting environments. These certifications include:

• TUV HOME Ok compost: Certified as home compostable by TUV Austria.
• TUV Ok compost: Certified as industrially compostable by TUV Austria.
• ASTM D6400 (BPI): Certified by the Biodegradable Products Institute (BPI) as industrial compostable.
• AS 5810 (ABA): Complies with the Australian Standard for home composting.
• AS 4736 (ABA): Complies with the Australian Standard for industrial composting.
• EN 13432 (Din Certco): Complies with the European standard for compostability.

Compostable bags break down through the action of microorganisms in a composting environment. Under suitable conditions (sufficient moisture and appropriate temperature), these microorganisms consume the bag material, breaking it down into carbon dioxide, water, and biomass (humus).

The decomposition time of our compostable bags depends on factors such as temperature, moisture levels, the presence of microorganisms, and the type of composting facility (home or industrial). Generally, under composting conditions, our bags will break down within 3-6 months.

Our compostable bags have a shelf life of 10-12 months from the date of manufacture. It’s best to store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat to maximize their shelf life.

No, our compostable products are specifically designed to break down in composting environments where optimal conditions (moisture, temperature, microorganisms) are present. Landfills lack these conditions, so the bags will not readily biodegrade there. Composting, whether at home or in an industrial facility, is the intended and most effective way to dispose of our compostable bags.

Performance can vary by brand and specific formulation. Early compostable bags sometimes had issues with strength or moisture resistance. However, technology has improved significantly. Our compostable bags offer comparable strength and functionality to traditional plastic bags for their intended purpose.

We will have professional quality inspectors to check the products every 2 hours. In addition, after the finished product is made, some tests are carried out, such as tensile, load-bearing and leakage tests.

We offer a wide rang of services, including technical support, custom artwork design, tailored bag manufacturing, custom packaging design.

Absolutely, tailoring compostable bags is a core part of our service. Here’s our approach:

• Understand Your Needs: We start by discussing your specific requirements – intended use, required size, strength, style (e.g., carry handles, bin liner), branding, and necessary compostability certifications (like BPI or OK compost HOME).

• Offer Flexible Options: Our manufacturing allows customization of dimensions, material thickness, bag style, and features. We also specialize in custom printing using certified compostable inks to incorporate your logo and branding effectively.

• Collaborate on Design: We work with you to finalize the design, ensuring it meets your needs while strictly adhering to compostability standards. We provide proofs for your approval.

• Confirm Feasibility & Scope: We clearly define specifications, minimum order quantities (MOQs), lead times, and confirm that all customizations maintain the bag’s overall certified compostability.

• Ensure Quality: We maintain strict quality control throughout production and ensure compliance with relevant certifications.

Essentially, we combine flexible production with expert knowledge of compostability standards to deliver custom bags that perfectly match your functional, branding, and environmental goals. You’ll have a dedicated contact to guide you through the process.
