Compostable Accessories

At BioPouches, our commitment to sustainable packaging extends beyond just the core materials; we also focus on compostable accessories like zippers and valves, which play a critical role in functionality and user convenience. Each of these components is certified, ensuring they adhere to rigorous standards of compostability.


Zippers are a key feature in many types of packaging, particularly in food products where resealability can significantly contribute to product freshness and longevity. Traditionally, these components have been a roadblock to achieving fully compostable packaging due to their non-compostable nature. However, BIOPOUCHES uses certified compostable zippers, ensuring that even this minute detail aligns with our overarching sustainability ethos. The compostable zippers break down under compostable conditions, leaving no harmful residue behind.


Likewise, valves are a common feature in packaging for products like coffee, where degassing is necessary to maintain product quality. Here too, BioPouches has made significant strides by incorporating certified compostable valves. These valves perform their role without hindering the package's overall compostability. They decompose in composting environments, ensuring that every part of the packaging contributes positively to the circular economy.


Moreover, these compostable accessories - zippers and valves - undergo strict testing to obtain compostability certification. This certification provides reassurance that these components, while small, are fully compliant with environmental standards. It's a testament to our commitment to create packaging solutions that are truly sustainable, from the largest panel to the smallest accessory.

In essence,BioPouches’s use of compostable accessories is an extension of our dedication to holistic sustainability. We believe that every part of a package, no matter how small, should contribute to the greater goal of reducing our environmental footprint. Through innovations in compostable zippers and valves, we are making strides towards creating packaging solutions that are 100% compostable, aligning with our mission and the growing demand for truly sustainable packaging.
