Recyclable vs. Compostable vs. Bio-Based: What Actually Matters?
Sustainability in packaging is more important—and more confusing—than ever. Terms like recyclable, compostable, biodegradable, and bio-based are often used interchangeably, but they mean very different things. This webinar breaks down what these claims actually mean and how to evaluate cold chain packaging effectively.We’ll cover the differences between recyclability, compostability, and bio-based materials, explain what carbon claims like “low carbon” and “carbon neutral” really indicate, and highlight the importance of ISTA testing to ensure packaging performs in real-world conditions.Join us to cut through the confusion and confidently assess sustainable packaging options that balance environmental impact with performance.
