Compostable packaging is packaging that biodegrades in a specific amount of time, in particular conditions. It is ideal for packaging that does not need to last long, such as single-use packaging. When you are composting, you are recycling organic material in a way that mimics nature. At Notpla, one of our core values is replicating what nature does best, so our products are 100% home compostable! But do you know what compostable means? What are the different compostable packaging materials, and are they all sustainable solutions for the planet?

Are you trying to achieve a sustainable lifestyle? Checking labels to make sure the product you are about to buy can be recycled? You rock! And when the product is labelled as biodegradable, you are assuming that it should be good for the planet, right? But is it? What does "biodegradable" mean? We have gathered our technical and sustainability experts to demystify this misleading word.
