All kinds of paper will compost if left in nature or given enough time humidity and oxygen in composting factories. We always ask why compost if you can recycle? Paper can be used over and over again and have a high economical value. We believe in Circular Economy.
Another problem with bio- degradable compostable stand-up pouches are, it is very difficult to certify them. Certification is a long process and in 3-6 months all has to be composted. Stand-up pouches are thicker films and the zipper on them makes them even more thicker which makes it almost impossible to get a compostable – bio degradable stand-up pouch certified. The likely scenario for the future is, the municipalities will only collect the compostable pouches if they are with certification logo and keep them in the right temperature and humidity. The rest will sit in the black bin and will be in landfills of burned.
A goal of Circular Economy Action Plan is helping consumers and public authorities choose sustainable products and services. Use of plastic is growing rapidly over the years. Flexible packages and stand-up pouches are part of the plastic use. Many people think that use of plastic is not good for the environment. It is not the case when we compare with other alternatives like, glass, paper, tin cans etc. One must look at the total carbon print from production to transportation and re-use option.
Recyclable Stand-Up Pouches: Regular Stand-up pouches are made of composite such as foil, Pet, Kraft Paper etc., laminates because every layer of film serves a different purpose. When the empty stand-up pouch is collected by collectors they face the problem of classifying the pouches. Each layer of flexible film itself is recyclable but when we laminate them together they cannot be broken into pieces and used anymore. Very similar to a Mule that cannot reproduce.
