This category covers flexible packaging made from degradable materials, including PLA/PBS compostable and degradable options. Structures such as flat bottom pouches, stand up pouches, and rollstock film are available. These materials protect contents from moisture, oxygen, and light, depending on the laminate. They suit coffee roasters, snack brands, pet food makers, tea brands, and contract manufacturers aiming to reduce environmental impact. However, degradable materials typically have lower barrier properties than conventional films, so they may not suit long shelf-life products. Buyers should verify composting conditions and certification for their market.
