Compostable Packaging Contributes to Quality Compost Production

In the composting plant, the biodegradable bio-based components of the compostable packaging release organic components, enriching the compost with an additional carbon source. At the same time, compostable packaging material acts as a structuring element for the compost pile, so it breathes better and works more efficiently.

Foreign elements are very often found in organic waste content. These elements cannot be treated in compost plants because they do not biodegrade within the useful period of the treatment. These are conventional plastics that are often accidentally or carelessly placed in the organic waste container. Identifying the most common foreign materials and replacing them with compostable solutions helps reduce contamination and provide cleaner raw materials to compost plants.

Especially in European Union countries, more and more consumers prefer to buy products in recyclable and biodegradable packaging. About 41 percent of consumers report that packaging is an important element to consider when considering brand reputation and awareness. However, regulations are still the most powerful tool for influencing sustainable behavior among consumers and companies. For example, 94 percent of Italian consumers want a law to be implemented that requires the eco-sustainability rate of a package to be specified. The majority of consumers approve of imposing taxes on non-recyclable materials to encourage the adoption of environmentally friendly packaging solutions. Increasing awareness and increasing consumer interest show how much the issue of sustainability is felt globally today.

There are many examples of sustainable packaging on the market today. In general, the approach is reduce, reuse and recycle. The aim is to reduce waste by giving recycled materials a second chance at life or suggesting a new use.
