WRAP have recently published a report on considerations for compostable plastic packaging.
This latest guidance helps packaging professionals cut through the complexity and make evidence-based decisions about when to use compostable plastic packaging and when not to.
It covers:
- Clear definitions: what “compostable” really means
- Certified standards for home and industrial composting
- A practical decision tree to guide application choices
- Insights on labelling, communication, and collection systems
- A breakdown of relevant UK, EU, and global policy changes
- Guidance to help avoid greenwashing and improve recyclability.
Less than 1% of UK plastic packaging is compostable today. With regulations tightening and sustainability claims under more scrutiny, clarity and evidence are essential for responsible packaging design.
