Compostable bags are revolutionizing the packaging industry with their eco-friendly properties and numerous advantages. Modwrap, a leader in sustainable packaging solutions, specializes in compostable bags that offer a range of benefits for both businesses and the environment.
One of the key advantages of compostable bags is their environmental impact. Made from renewable resources such as plant-based materials, these bags break down into organic matter when composted, reducing the reliance on non-renewable resources and minimizing waste.
Compostable bags also contribute to soil health and fertility. When composted, they enrich the soil with nutrients, acting as a natural fertilizer. This closed-loop system supports sustainable agricultural practices and reduces the need for chemical fertilizers.
In addition to their environmental benefits, compostable bags are versatile and durable. They can be used for various applications, including food packaging, shopping bags, etc. Despite their strength, they are lightweight and easy to handle.
Furthermore, compostable bags align with consumer preferences for sustainable products. Businesses that use compostable bags demonstrate their commitment to environmental stewardship, which can enhance their brand image and attract environmentally conscious consumers.
In conclusion, compostable bags by Modwrap offer a sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional plastic bags. With their numerous advantages, they are helping pave the way towards a more sustainable future.

So you want to learn more about our compostable courier bags? It's a long read but our company wants to operate with integrity and ethical morals and want to let you know what we know.
Are your compostable bags able to be composted at home and in commercial facilities?
Yes our compostable courier bags are both home and commercially compostable. They have both the Australian Bioplastic Association AS- certification (industrial/commercial) Australian Bioplastic Association AS- (home) and the European EN- (home and industrial) certification.
Please remove all courier ticket labels and the non toxic adhesive glue strip prior to composting.
How long will they take to decompose in the compost pile?
Under the AS- certification (commercial) and EN- the compostable bags are required to meet the following requirements:
That means that 90 percent or more of the plastic material will have been converted to Carbon Dioxide. The remaining share is converted into water and biomass.
These timeframe in which the bags will breakdown is dependent on many factors such as moisture and constant temperature - this is more variable in a home composting situation versus a commercial facility.

What are your compostable courier bags made from?
Our compostable courier bags are made from cornstarch PLA (A renewable and sustainable resource as they can grow and be harvested in one season) and other biodegradable materials such as PBAT (a biodegradable thermoplastic). PBAT is current derived from petroleum based products as there are no alternatives - YET (the technology today is moving fast and there are those seeking to find a renewable solution). Producing a bag with 100% PLA would be too brittle and difficult to compost so be cautious when others claim this fact.
As you read above, PLA and PBAT are internationally recognised as biodegradable and compostable - leaving behind no toxic residues when composted.
Are biobased plastics the same as the traditional plastics?
No, as traditional plastics are not compostable, or derived from starch.
What are the inks made of?
'The inks on our compostable bags are soy based and non toxic.
Why are some OKCompost logos partnered with Vincotte?
As of 1 December TUV Austria Group took over the OK Compost label from Vincotte.
Can compostable courier bags be recycled?
No, as the bags are not PET plastic they cannot be recycled.
What happens if the compostable courier bag goes into the landfill?
Whilst this may be an inevitable outcome at the end of life for the compostable courier bags, we still believe there are still pre-life benefits of the raw materials in PLA exists.
Due to the dry and oxygen deprived conditions of landfills, the bags will most likely remain inert.
What happens when I'm done with the bag?
