Biodegradable flexible packaging looks and feels like regular plastic but behaves very differently at the end of its useful life.
Biodegradable Flexible Packaging as a Sustainable Choice Read More »
A lot of thought goes into product packaging: Design, brand visibility, practicality, and shelf appeal. In recent years, environmental impact has joined that list, thanks to the global push for sustainability. Packaging is no longer just a functional layer; it’s become a powerful statement of responsibility. However, when viewed through the lens of financial cost,

The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) now lists ASTM D6954-24, a standard that provides clear guidelines for testing oxo-biodegradable plastics. This is a significant step because it validates the science behind oxo-biodegradable technology. The standard outlines how plastics should be exposed and tested to show they can degrade through oxidation and then biodegrade in the
