Packaging materials information

Corn again

Yep, that’s right.

These babies look like plastic and feel (sort of) like plastic, but they’re made from 100% biodegradable and compostable materials.

Specifically, they are made from corn starch, PLA (made from corn) and PBAT (Polybutyrate Adipate Terephthalate).

Just take the extra bits off and they will decay away, nourishing future generations of flora.

Biodegradable Information

Food for worms

These clever mailers have passed stringent AS5810 certified home compostable requirements, which includes a worm toxicity test, so they’re even worm farm friendly.

Once your customer has finished with their mailer they can simply take off the label and pop the mailer in with their food scraps. It will then biodegrade within 90 days in a regular home composting process.

Mailer love from lovely Sendlers

Did I mention it smells amazing? because it's mostly corn product, when it arrived, it immediately had a wonderfully sweet and warm smell of caramel. I wanted to eat it.

The Seller Journal

Here at Rainbow Natural Remedies in Seattle, we love the compostable mailers. Honestly, I was so surprised that they are compostable because they feel like a sturdy plastic material and look so professional with their matte black finish. They're super convenient and helpful, and I love that they can be reused to collect compost waste!

Daniella, Store Manager

Sendle's compostable mailers are a game-changer. As a company working to reduce the waste and single-use plastic polluting our planet, being able to send our reusable products in literal zero-waste packaging helps to reinforce our company's mission.

FAQ's

What exactly are they made of?

Corn starch (from corn not fit for consumption), PLA (Polylactide, which is made from waste corn too and other plants), and PBAT (Polybutyrate Adipate Terephthalate). 

How long will they take to biodegrade?

In a ‘standard’ home compost, the pouches have been certified (AS5810 -2010) to biodegrade within 180 days, i.e. approx 6 months. Under commercial composting conditions, it would happen much faster. And as litter (e.g. under a tree) it would compost slower, but it will still happen.

How long will they last on the shelf?

Because they're made from plants not plastic, it's important to store the compostable pouches in a cool, dry place. If stored correctly, they will be tough enough to send parcels up to 9 months after purchase.

Do these dimensions include the flap?

No, they don’t. The usable dimensions are as stated.
