Overview of buyer for compostable packaging manufacturer in Europe

Experienced professionals founded the company in the early 2010s. Chiefly to address the significant environmental challenges posed by flexible plastic packaging. The goal was to develop solutions that eliminate toxic residue, microplastics, and other pollutants commonly associated with conventional plastic products. They envisioned a future where flexible packaging could decompose like organic matter while retaining the desirable properties of traditional plastic. In particular, including durability, transparency, barrier protection, sealability, printability, and extended shelf life. These are features that both consumers and brands depend on. Essentially, their innovative approach ensured that sustainable packaging solutions seamlessly integrate with existing industrial machinery and manufacturing practices. By achieving these performance standards, their compostable packaging aims to provide an environmentally friendly alternative that matches the effectiveness of conventional plastics.

Profile of buyer for compostable packaging manufacturer in Europe

The conventional flexible plastic packaging market is expanding quickly, but less than 4% of this packaging is recycled. This type of plastic is a prime environmental concern, contributing to ocean pollution, with 5 million out of 11 million tons produced each year ending up in the sea. Unlike rigid plastics, flexible plastic packaging presents unique recycling challenges. It is often made from a mix of different materials, becomes contaminated with food, and is too lightweight for efficient separation and recycling. Single-use flexible plastics are low-cost, lightweight, and compact but are a chief source of environmental pollution.

To address these issues, they created an innovative packaging solution. Primarily, they used materials that could safely return to the environment. At the same time, it also mimics the beneficial properties of traditional flexible plastics. Specifically, they designed the new packaging to decompose into nourishing compost. Above all, this supports a circular economy where the company transforms recycled materials into other usable substances. The compostable packaging breaks down into nutrients similar to organic waste, promoting sustainable and eco-friendly practices.
