Compostability Standards and Material Approval Trends
Packaging procurement decisions are changing as brands focus more on sustainability claims and disposal compliance. Buyers are no longer selecting packaging based only on price. Instead, they evaluate:
• Compostability documentation and certifications
• Disposal pathway verification
• Material compatibility with packaging lines
• Barrier performance and shelf protection
• Lifecycle impact and sustainability claims
Biodegradable packaging is gaining preference because it supports food-contact applications while helping brands reduce regulatory and environmental risk.

New packaging programs in Asia and Europe are increasingly adopting biodegradable films, trays, pouches, and rigid containers.

Key industry trends include:
• Expansion of PLA and starch-based resin production
