The biggest benefit of compostable packaging solutions is that they help limit the amount of food waste that ends up in landfills. In addition to the food waste itself, organic waste from landfills is a major source of methane, a greenhouse gas 25 times more potent than carbon dioxide. This means a climate effect that should not be ignored at all.

The use of compostable bioplastics in certain food packaging applications allows for more efficient recovery of food residues. Efforts in this direction prevent compostable packaging materials from being dumped in landfills. Coffee capsules and tea bags contain a large amount of product that risks wasted, even after use. On the other hand, if they are packaged together with compostable materials, these products can be recovered more easily with their packaging in the biowaste box. Compostable coffee capsules also ensure that the organic content of the remaining coffee is recovered.

In short, it is possible to create resources from waste by composting. By the time it reaches the composting plant, the waste is converted into a new source, compost, a natural fertilizer that helps regenerate the soil. This is one of the biggest circular benefits of compostable packaging.

Most organic waste, such as fruits, vegetables, dairy, cereals, bread, unbleached paper napkins, coffee filters, eggshells, meats and newspapers, can be recycled by composting. The main benefit of reducing the amount of organic waste going to landfills is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and prevent leachate from polluting soil, groundwater and waterways. Non-compostable materials include plastics, oil, glass and metals, plastic containers, spice packs, plastic wrap, plastic bags, foil, straws, bottles, polystyrene or chemicals.

Food waste has unique properties as a raw compost material. Pre-consumer food waste is easiest to compost, but post-consumer food waste is more difficult due to separation issues. Often, after the consumer is done with the food, the waste is exposed to contaminants and it is necessary to decide how to separate the food from the other waste.
