3. What are Compostable Mailers?
Compostable mailers are a sustainable alternative to traditional plastic
mailing envelopes. Our Compostable mailers are designed to break down
and decompose safely in a compost environment, leaving no harmful residue
behind.
4. Benefits of Compostable Mailers
1 Environmentally
Friendly
Compostable mailers
reduce waste and
minimize the
environmental impact of
packaging.
2 Biodegradable
They can be disposed of
through composting,
breaking down into
natural elements.
3 Sustainable
Compostable materials
like paper, plant-based
plastics, and corn starch
are used in their
production.
5. Materials Used in Compostable Mailers
Paper
Compostable mailers are
often made from recycled or
plant-based papers that can
break down naturally.
Plant-Based Plastics
Bioplastics derived from
renewable sources like corn,
sugarcane, or bamboo are
used to create compostable
lining or pouches.
Corn Starch
This biodegradable material is
a common component in
compostable mailer
construction.
6. Comparison to Traditional Plastic
Mailers
1
Plastic
Traditional plastic mailers are non-
biodegradable and harmful to the
environment. 2 Compostable
Compostable mailers are made from
renewable, sustainable materials that
can be composted.
3
Eco-Friendly
Compostable mailers have a
significantly lower environmental
impact compared to plastic.
7. The Composting Process
Discard
After use, compostable mailers can be discarded in a home or industrial
compost bin.
Decompose
The organic materials break down into nutrient-rich soil over several weeks or
months.
Nourish
The compost can then be used to enrich soil and support healthy plant
growth.
8. Sustainability and Environmental
Impact
Zero Waste
Compostable mailers help reduce waste and
prevent plastics from ending up in landfills or
the ocean.
Carbon Neutral
The production of compostable materials has
a lower carbon footprint compared to
traditional plastics.
Circular Economy
Compostable packaging supports a closed-
loop system where materials are reused and
recycled.
Ecosystem Protection
Compostable mailers help protect natural
environments and wildlife by being
biodegradable.
