home compostable

However, unfortunately, conventional cling film is often not recycled. This, for example, can be due to food contamination or restraints within collection or recycling systems.

Now, global flexible packaging and lidding films supplier KM Packaging has introduced a new alternative – home-compostable C-Cling.

"Our packaging is a part of our heritage and our storytelling. Beyond its iconic image, we want KFC's packaging to be forward-thinking, inspiring, and to champion functionality, food safety and eco-friendly solutions," said Armando Carrillo, Innovation Manager, KFC Canada. "We have continued to accelerate our efforts and push the boundaries to bring more environmentally sustainable packaging solutions to market, including our recent move to bamboo poutine buckets. A fully home compostable packaging line is the ultimate win for us and for the environment."

UK-based supermarket chain Waitrose is reintroducing its ten lines of food sharing platters with less packaging material after a full redesign.

The sandwich, roll and wrap sharing platters will now come in a cardboard base without an outer case or lid.

Waitrose has reduced the use of packaging in the products by 65% overall, saving 60% of single-use plastic from sandwiches and 40% single-use plastic on wraps.

The fully recyclable boxes and film are designed in a ready-to-serve format to make food sharing easy.

Known for kiwifruit, Maori culture, and spectacular scenery, New Zealand is also home to a new certified home-compostable plastic compostable flexible packaging option for home use for US consumers.

Available at the Compostic website and at Amazon, the company’s compostable cling wrap and resealable bags offer a guilt-free, 100% home-compostable alternative to traditional kitchen plastics. Both product and packaging are zero waste materials.
