Compostability of Plastic Test Package
What is Compostable Products?
Nowadays, it seems that almost everywhere we look, we are seeing sustainable consumer products replacing their traditional counterparts. From food production and fashion to lifestyle products, an undeniable change is on the rise. With such an increasing focus, along with favorable government regulations for green procurement policies, biodegradable plastic manufacturers have significant opportunities in the new end-use industries such as electronics, medical, and automotive.
Compostable products are defined as products that can disintegrate and biodegrade into natural elements such as water, biomass, and carbon dioxide in a composting environment, leaving no toxicity in the soil. Apart from their ability to completely disintegrate, compostable material goes one step further by providing the earth with nutrients once the material has completely broken down.
