Compostable and Recycled Ingredients

Consumers demand packaging that protects the environment. Recyclable, compostable, biodegradable packaging. These are all requirements for some type of renewable resource.

Compostable and Recycled Ingredients

Of all the concepts circulating today about sustainability, perhaps the most used and most distinctive is recyclable. Recycling is simply defined as making something new from the same material. The idea of ​​recyclability is to create another use for a material, whether it's the same object or simply restoring it to its original state and reusing. This concept applies to many materials such as metals, plastics and papers, and sometimes covers all of these materials for a sustainable product.

The concept of compostable refers to letting something break down rather than reusing, and it's on the opposite side of recyclable. Compostable is also defined as a mixture of rotted plants used to improve the soil in a garden. Compost is almost entirely derived from a vegetable source and ultimately turns into something called humus. The humus is then dispersed (fertilization) into the soil to form good soil for growing new plants. Compostable plastic behaves like other compostable materials in that it needs a catalyst such as heat to compost.

The concept of biodegradable is similar to that of compostable, but there are a few distinct differences. Biodegradability means that it can be slowly destroyed and broken down into very small pieces, such as natural process, bacteria, and so on. Although this definition seems similar to the definition of compostable, plants are absent in this process. Biodegradable objects can be much more than plants, they can be papers, boxes, bags and other materials created with the ability to slowly decompose until they are all consumed at a microscopic level.
