As governments tighten restrictions on non-recyclable plastics, more and more companies are investing in sustainable packaging options.
A large portion of these investments are focused on compostable packaging materials, such as those made from polylactic acid (PLA). These compostable plastics are made from renewable materials such as corn, corn starch and sugar cane.
Studies show that compostable materials are better for the planet because they produce fewer greenhouse gases during decomposition. As a result, many roasters are choosing to use compostable coffee bags.
