Compostability at PDL – A Commitment to Circular Sustainability by Guillaume Moreau

At PDL, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do, and compostability plays a key role in our efforts to reduce environmental impact. With growing consumer demand for sustainable packaging and increasing regulations worldwide, our commitment to producing compostable products aligns with both market needs and environmental goals. Compostable materials not only break down naturally but also contribute to healthier ecosystems by reducing landfill waste and supporting organic recycling processes.

What Does It Mean for a Product to Be Compostable?

A compostable product is designed to decompose into natural elements under specific environmental conditions, leaving no toxic residue. For industrial composting, products must meet recognized standards such as the CMA or BPI certifications in the U.S. or the EN 13432 and TUV standards in Europe. These certifications ensure that materials disintegrate fully and return valuable nutrients to the soil, without harming the environment or leaving persistent chemicals behind​

PDL’s Compostable Product Range

PDL’s innovative products, including Primabake and Primafoodwrap, are engineered to be PFAS-free, recyclable, and compostable. By meeting the highest industry standards, our papers ensure compatibility with composting processes, making them an environmentally friendly alternative to conventional packaging. Whether used for baking, food wrapping, or other applications, our compostable papers minimize environmental impact without compromising performance.

The Benefits of Compostable Materials

• Reduces Landfill Waste: Compostable products divert waste from landfills, where traditional materials may take years to decompose.
• Supports Organic Recycling: Compostable materials break down into nutrient-rich compost, supporting sustainable agricultural practices.
• Non-Toxic Decomposition: Unlike conventional plastics and chemical-treated papers, our compostable products contain no harmful residues.
• Compliance with Global Standards: Our papers meet the requirements of certifications like EN 13432, ensuring they break down effectively in commercial composting facilities.
