The different about recyclable compostable and biodegradable for packaging

2020-04-24

Recyclable materials can be reprocessed into new products. Following the [reduce, reuse, recycle," waste hierarchy this prevents resources being lost into landfill or incineration. Items can either be recycled into the same product (e.g. plastic bags into plastic bags) or into a lower grade material (e.g. writing paper into loo roll).

Compostable packaging

Compostable packaging is developed to break down within 6 – 12 weeks in optimal conditions (composting at home or industrial facilities). Good quality compostable packaging is tested, certified and complies with BS EN 13432.
Biodegradable materials will break down naturally, but there`s no timeframe. A fork that is biodegradable could be buried for years before it begins to break down. `Biodegradable` products are not certified or regulated e.g. cutlery that is 70% organic material and 30% plastic can be sold as `biodegradeable`.
