Compostable Packaging

Compostable Packaging is a type of packaging material that belongs to the class of biodegradable materials and is distinguished by its ability to undergo biological decomposition under controlled composting conditions, yielding carbon dioxide, water, inorganic compounds, and biomass at a rate consistent with known compostable materials, without leaving toxic residues or compromising the quality of the resulting compost.
