Compostable Packaging could be your answer

Industrial composting is an aerobic process that needs oxygen to drive the proper chemistry, as opposed to landfills that create anaerobic biodegradation. Simply said, the industrial process accomplishes what nature does with all used biological materials more quickly. In reality, the carbon cycle in nature is mimicked by compostable biopolymers that are used for packaging and then decomposed in commercial composting facilities: Carbon dioxide from the atmosphere is converted into cellulose and other carbohydrates by photosynthetic plants (such as lignin). Packaging made from cellulose and other certified biodegradable biomaterials degrades in industrial settings, completing the cycle by releasing this carbon into the atmosphere.

Food applications represent the most promising application for compostable packaging, particularly at food service places, such as restaurants, sporting events, concerts, restaurants, and similar venues due to the following reasons:

• Composted packaging alongside other organic waste. The packaging can be composted alongside the other organic waste it is collected with, such as food scraps. By combining two streams into one, inefficiencies associated with confining, classifying, and transporting two distinct streams to various places needing various operations are reduced.
• The reduction in packaging that is sent to landfills, due to food waste contamination.?When transported to recycling facilities, food service packaging that might be recyclable in dry conditions (made of PP or PET, for example) is typically not recyclable once it has become contaminated with leftover food.
• Benefits of having a centralized site for collecting relatively substantial amounts of packaging and food waste.?In comparison to processing the same residue from thousands of houses, collecting residue from thousands of people in one area is substantially simpler to manage.
