One area of interest is Eco-Products’ line of compostable straws made from plant-based plastic. The straws, made from polyhydroxyalkanoate, have the same performance capabilities as regular plastic straws but with added environmental benefits. Because they are made of plant-based PHA, the straws’ organic nature enables them to act as a food source for microorganisms that hasten decomposition in a home compost pile or a professional composting facility.
On the other hand, the Flax4Life biodegradable bakery packaging is a line of eco-friendly packaging designed to cut waste and elevate sustainability. The company’s plant-based packaging is made from corn and sugar cane feedstock, allowing for industrial-scale composting after use.
