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.
In order to keep the quality of the recycled product high the use of additives should be as little as possible. Ink is a kind of additives for printed packaging. Having extra crowded packages will result in using high amounts of inks. For the sake of recycling simple printing designs are better. Deal with current and future materials which are not circular. Complex materials aren’t good to recycle. Plastics industry is looking for alternatives to replace these complex structures.
