Caring for the environment: Univest makes a conscious choice in favor of compostable food packaging
The process of natural decomposition of organic materials under the influence of microorganisms in aerobic conditions is called composting. The resulting substance – compost – is used as a fertilizer for the soil. Univest products made from molded fiber or with barrier coating are also compostable, which minimizes the harmful impact on the environment and reduces the amount of waste.
Features of products made with barrier coating
Tea and coffee cups, food paper buckets and disposable paper bowls made with barrier coating are marked with appropriate designations, which indicate the possibility of recycling or composting. Eco-friendly raw materials can be mineralized or disintegrated into small particles depending on the composition of the mixture.
Proper disposal of items made with barrier coating involves choosing the appropriate recycling method. Since the decomposition process depends on temperature, humidity, the presence of microorganisms and other factors, it is rather difficult to monitor this process in natural conditions. Home and industrial composters, operating in controlled conditions, come to the rescue.
Advantages of using packaging with barrier coating
If you strive to keep the environment clean and consciously approach the problem of proper waste disposal, choose technological solutions with barrier coating c from Univest. The advantages of such a solution:
- production of materials does not require large expenditures of energy and water resources;
- raw materials decompose into water, biomass and gases in a short time (from several weeks to a year);
- the use of tableware produced from the board with barrier coating helps to reduce the carbon footprint and reduce the amount of garbage on the planet.
The industrial production of ordinary plastic has negative consequences for the environment: pollution of water bodies, damage to the ecosystem, a global increase in the number of landfills. Choosing a biodegradable alternative will allow you to take a step towards solving these problems, demonstrate an informed position and strengthen the brand’s image.
