FAQ
Biodegradable packaging typically has a shelf life of between 6 months and 1 year. However, we do have customers who use our packaging for products with a shelf life of 1 year or longer after conducting their own shelf life tests.
DXC compostable bags will not begin to biodegrade on the shelf because they can only biodegrade under composting conditions, but the quality of the packaging will begin to deteriorate over time.
All of our materials are certified as home and industrial compostable and comply with US and European composting standards EN13432 and ASTM D6400. our zippers and valves are also compostable.
The best way to dispose of compostable plastics is to take them to an industrial or commercial composting facility where they will break down with the right mix of heat, microbes and time. If this type of composting facility is not available in your area, they can often be put together with garden waste or food waste and taken away for composting, but it is always worth checking with your local council to see if they accept compostable bags in this way. If the above types of composting solutions are not available in your area, then the only option is to throw them in the bin.
If you want to dispose of your compostable bags at home, you can do so at your home compost site or on your garbage can, as long as the bags or film are certified home compostable, such as Natureflex ™.
