Sustainability Guide: Eco-Friendly Packaging Options
Biodegradable vs. Compostable: What is the Difference?
Understanding eco-friendly terminology helps you make the right choice for your business. Biodegradable materials break down naturally over time, though the exact timeframe can vary. Compostable packaging is specifically designed to break down into non-toxic components under active composting conditions. Some of our bagasse and pulp items require commercial industrial composting, while others suit home setups. Always refer to individual product pages for correct disposal routes.
Can Aluminium Foil Containers Be Recycled?
Yes. Aluminium foil containers are infinitely and widely recyclable in the UK, provided they are rinsed clean of food residue. Lid materials can vary between foil, polyboard, or plastic. Please check your specific product and follow local authority recycling rules.
