Why choose compostable packaging?

Compostable packaging offers a sustainable alternative to traditional plastic by breaking down naturally into non-toxic components under specific environmental conditions. Unlike conventional packaging that can persist for centuries, compostable materials decompose within months, helping to minimise landfill waste and support circular economy principles.
