Zero-waste packaging

The film "PLA (Polylactic Acid)" is obtained from the fermentation of sugars followed by the polymerization of lactic acid. This fermentation is typically carried out using sugarcane or corn starch. This material is 100% bio-based (derived from renewable sources) and degrades under composting conditions.

Under industrial composting conditions, the material degrades within a period of 1 to 5 months, depending on the conditions. In home composting, it takes longer, and the degradation time will depend on factors such as the thickness of the material, particle size, composting method, compost temperature, among others.

Due to their composition, compostable packaging breaks down in the environment and turns into compost, resulting in "zero waste", which reduces the carbon footprint and avoids the irrational use of plastic, thereby helping to limit the uncontrolled exploitation of raw materials. In this way, it contributes to the development of a circular economy.

Its composting process leaves no toxic residue and the material fully degrades in eight to twenty weeks. The resulting compost is of much higher quality and is capable of sequestering 50% more carbon than conventional compost.

If you have a composter at home and the weather conditions allow it, you can compost our packaging at home.

If not, or if you don't have enough space, you can dispose of our 100% biobased packaging preferably in the dark brown organic waste bins (Spain), or alternatively, in the blue bins (Spain) used for paper and cardboard recycling.
