Common Questions
Q: What does "industrial compostable" mean?
A: ASTM D6400 certification means these pouches break down completely in commercial composting facilities — the kind that reach high temperatures and process organic waste at scale. They won't break down in your backyard compost bin, but they're a much better choice than traditional plastic for businesses committed to sustainability.
Q: Can I use these for food products I sell at farmers markets?
A: Absolutely! The bio-based PLA coating provides a food-safe barrier for dry goods. These pouches are popular with cottage food producers, artisan food makers, and small businesses who want packaging that matches their values.
Q: Will the zipper keep my coffee fresh?
A: Yes! The bio-based reclosable zipper provides excellent resealing for freshness. For maximum shelf life, we recommend also heat-sealing below the zipper before shipping to customers.
