Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does 'commercially compostable' mean?
A: It means the product can break down into natural elements within 12 weeks in a controlled industrial composting facility, which uses higher temperatures than a home compost bin.
Q: Is the whole bag, including the window, compostable?
A: Yes, both the kraft paper and the PLA window are made from plant-based materials and are certified for commercial composting.
Q: Can I use these bags for hot food?
A: These bags are intended for cold or ambient foods. They are safe for food at temperatures up to 40°C.
Q: What is PLA?
A: PLA stands for Polylactic Acid. It's a bioplastic made from renewable, natural resources like corn starch, making it a sustainable alternative to oil-based plastics.
Q: Can I put my company's logo on these bags?
A: Absolutely. The natural kraft paper surface is perfect for applying branded stickers or using a custom ink stamp.
Q: Are these bags grease-resistant?
A: The kraft paper offers some resistance to grease, making it suitable for most sandwiches and baked goods. For very oily items, you might consider using a greaseproof liner as well.
Q: Can I put these bags in my recycling bin?
A: No. As they are compostable and often contain food residue, they should not be placed in recycling bins as they can contaminate the recycling stream. They belong in a food waste or commercial compost bin.
Q: How should I store the bags before use?
A: For best results, store them flat in a cool, dry place away from any direct heat sources or sunlight to maintain their quality.

Ever wondered what the clear window on eco-friendly packaging is made of? It's often PLA, or Polylactic Acid. In simple terms, it's a bioplastic derived from renewable plant resources like corn starch or sugarcane. Think of it as nature's clever alternative to oil-based plastic. It provides the same fantastic, crystal-clear visibility you need to show off your colourful salads and perfectly constructed sandwiches, but with a much smaller environmental footprint. So, when your customers see that little window, they're not just seeing your food; they're seeing a smarter, greener choice that breaks down in a commercial composter, returning to the earth instead of lingering for centuries.
