treat your trash
Our bags are made of compostable laminated film.
Each component of our bags - the film, the reclosable zipper, the compost sticker - is individually certified compostable. The main components of the bags are made with bio-resins and wood cellulose. Pouches are not made with GMOs, bisphenol (BPA), PFAS or phthalates. Bonus - they’re vegan!
They’re easier to compost than most packaging.
While these bad boys can be composted at your local commercial composting facility, they can also be composted at home once the label is removed. They’re non-toxic and won’t affect the health of your home compost. Speeds will vary.
And if you don’t have home compost…
We’ve included some local composting options below, or you can bring your packaging back to GBHQ and we’ll add it to our shop compost bin.
What certifications do they hold?
ASTM D6400 and EN13432. The certifications have been granted by BPI and Cedar Grove. The zipper is certified compostable by TUV. Learn more at Elevate Packaging.
