Features
Our “green” satchels have all the qualities you need:
245 x 335mm (without the flap)
Waterproof and a little bit stretchy.
Tough and durable, Write-able, Print-able, Stick-able and Edible (for worms), they are also Tear resistant.
Corn again
Yup, that’s right. These babies look like plastic and feel a bit like plastic, but they’re made from 100% biodegradable and compostable materials.
Specifically; corn starch, PLA (made from corn) and PBAT (Polybutyrate Adipate Terephthalate).
Food for worms
These clever satchels have passed Australia’s stringent AS5810 certified home compostable requirements, which includes a worm toxicity test, so they’re even worm farm friendly.
Once your customer has finished with their satchel they can simply take off the label and pop the satchel in with their food scraps. The satchel will biodegrade within 90 days in a regular home composting process.
FAQ's
What exactly are they made of?
Corn starch (from corn not fit for consumption), PLA (Polylactide, which is made from waste corn too and other plants) and PBAT (Polybutyrate Adipate Terephthalate).
How long will they take to biodegrade?
In a ‘standard’ home compost, the satchels have been certified (AS5810 -2010) to biodegrade within 180 days, i.e. approx 6 months. Under commercial composting conditions, it would happen much faster. And as litter (e.g. under a tree) it would compost slower, but it will still happen.
How long will they last on the shelf?
Because they're made from plants not plastic, it's important to store the compostable satchels in a cool, dry place. If stored correctly, they will be tough enough to send parcels up to 6 months after purchase.
