The film is laminated to a biofilm for a hermetic seal, and this final structure is independently certified compostable by BPI, proving that it will compost in a commercial compost setting.
Over the last year, 80% of the waste produced by the bakery has been diverted from the landfill, and either recycled or commercially composted.
Vikings and Goddesses said the new packaging meets all the technical requirements such as pack integrity, and remain intact in the end users home freezers.
Additionally, the gusset pouch produced takes up less space on grocery store shelves than a cardboard box or the bakery’s previous packaging options.
