Performance Gaps

Some compostable films have lower OTR/MVTR than conventional laminates. Validate shelf life via testing. For format alternatives, see Versus / Comparison and the pillar overview.

Recycling & Composting Confusion

  • Industrial composting may be required for some films.
  • Recycling access varies by municipality; labeling clarity matters.

Supply & MOQs

Specialty materials can extend lead times and require MOQs. Build buffers into launches and consider stock pouches for speed. For cost context, review the Cost / Price page and the pillar guide.
