Food and Beverage Packaging Plays Increased Role in Corporate Sustainability Strategies
Compostable packages as well as new designs and technologies help CPG brands meet projected sustainable goals
BAR-U-EAT has officially released its new Biodegradable Products Institute (BPI) Certified Compostable Packaging for its individually wrapped bars. With this release, the company now offers packaging which carries the certification for the entire package — a move that ensures that the packaging will break down properly in commercial compost systems and not contaminate the environment. It also steps leaps beyond the industry standard of single use plastics.
The new packaging is composed of plant-based materials from FSC Certified sustainably managed forests. It additionally complies with the specifications established in the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) D6400 to be aerobically composted and is biodegradable.
