COMPOSTABLE PRODUCTS

From Bakery to Festivals, and everything Carry-out

When it comes to compostable products, the movement doesn’t just end with bags. We offer an assortment of other products that can help keep life simple while making the world a better place.

With plastic bans sweeping the world, it’s never been better to switch to a kinder alternative to plastic. We are a world of convenience, but the innovation taking place with bioplastics is allowing us to have our cake and eat it too.

Don’t be fooled; if it’s not certified compostable – carrying the seal of approval from Canada’s governing force on compostables – then it’s not necessarily better for the environment. So choose wisely. Don’t mistake the label of biodegradable as meaning compostable or make choices that will result in bigger consequences, like polluting the earth, and ultimately our food sources with microplastics. Microplastics hurt everyone, not just those helpless turtles.

We’re not stopping at bags. Compostable cups, “to go” packaging, bakery items, and so much more are available and are able to be private labelled for your retail stores, restaurants, and other foodservice companies. We will take care of everything. Tell us what you want and we will even help you with the packaging if you need it.

Our expertise in marketing will also give you that added edge when it comes to positioning your product to stand out against your competition.

Let’s work together to keep all organic waste out of the landfills and compost it instead. Our products will take the pain out of being gentle to the environment.

Colours:

Takeout packaging colour depends on the products you are interested in. We have options ranging from white, to natural Kraft colour and beyond. Our bags come in 2 resin colours, first being a neutral light beige that allows all your printing to stand out nicely and supports any brand. The second colour is a light green making it clear they are compostable. Ink colours are not restricted but there is a maximum of 4 colours that can be printed on bags.

Shelf Life:

This packaging and bags have the same shelf-life as other products which is 12-months. This is an important validator to their ability to break down. They are not meant to last forever. So we work closely with you to ensure you have the right number of bags you need at their best quality.

Certified Compostable:

So what does it mean exactly to be certified compostable? It means our bags and packaging have been tested by the BPI (Biodegradable Products Institute) which is an external organization that verifies that our products meet their requirements and are true to what we say.  This is the regulatory body that completes rigorous testing on our products and others to ensure they are safe to be used in composting and will not add any harmful chemicals to the natural process.

Not all products are equal and without the BPI certification, products are not verified to be safe for compost facilities or your backyard compost. Compostable bags biodegrade, but biodegradable bags without BPI approval are not compostable.

If you are a Grocer, Retailer, Restaraunt, or food producer that would like to order a branded alternative for your customers, we can help. We can create the size you want with the branding you need. We can print up to 4 colours and produce high volume numbers depending on your consumption.

Talk to us to learn the minimum orders for your specific needs.

No need to compromise on quality and no need to spend more money on expensive multi-use options.

We will even help support you with our creative team and help you promote the product with our marketing expertise. We want these products to be an asset to your business and help build customer loyalty as well as create a better world for everyone.

 Tell Us What We Can Build for You.

As mentioned, we are unique as we control all aspects of the supply chain when manufacturing these products. That makes us very flexible and also allows us to ensure the quality is there.

When ordering custom products, the first order takes the longest as we need to build the plates and get everything set up for you. Delivery is usually within 13-15 weeks. We are flexible on where they need to go and will do what we can to help you get them there.

If you currently work with a distribution company, we will do what we can to build a relationship with them and keep your supply chain as simple and smooth as possible.

Compostable products are made from natural renewable resources; in our case they are corn-based. And since they are made from organic material themselves,, they respond the same way other organic material responds in the decomposition process.

How Composting Works:

Just like your typical organic waste, decomposition is taken care of by bacteria that break it down and essentially eat it for their own food source. What is left behind is waste that the bacteria expels, which is often the nutrients that can not be consumed by the bacteria. This nutrient-rich by-product is what has been used as a healthy soil additive for ages.

In fact, there is evidence that composting practices were used over 10,000 years ago in different parts of the world. There’s even evidence of composting methods being used by King Sargon during the Akkadian Dynasty, which lasted about 160 years between 2320 BC and 2120 BC. So composting is not a new concept. We are just getting smart and going back to some effective proven natural methods of enhancing our soil nutrients and dealing with waste.

Because our products are made from organic material or bioplastics, they too break down just like organic waste does when exposed to the same conditions. Bacteria are key to the fast breakdown of any organic material and are essential for our products as well. When placed in a composting facility or combined with home composting, our products typically break down within 8-16 weeks depending on how much bacteria is present, as well as moisture and temperature conditions. The decomposition of our products can even happen between 6-10 weeks when the conditions are ideal and there are other organic materials present with the products.

The number 1 thing to remember is that, when our products do break down, they leave nothing harmful behind. No micro-plastics are leached into the environment as with other bags that claim to be eco-friendly, such as “biodegradable” and “oxo-degradable” bags. That is why compostable products are revolutionary in our fight against harmful plastics while allowing us to still have the convenience we have come to enjoy in our everyday life.
