The bio-based films we source are biodegradable with a home compostability rating. They are made from a combination of corn, potato starch, cassava, wood pulp, and beetroot.
Our standard press-to-close zippers are also biodegradable and carry a home compostability rating. Our child-resistant zippers carry an industrial compostability rating. Ours are most often made from bio-based resins renewably sourced from dent corn nearby manufacturer locations. Other renewable sources for bio-based resin can include soybean oil, sugarcane, beetroot, and algae.
Pouches made from these materials can perform well with many applications but are ideal for food-based, non-toxic, and non-liquid products. Read: What types of materials/substrates are offered? What are their differences? for more information on our substrate materials
The shelf life of our materials is comparable to other alternative flexible packaging offerings assuming they are stored in a dry, room-temperature environment. If you are uncertain, we recommend testing with your product to determine if it fits your shelf life needs.
