MONDI has announced that its entire portfolio of kraft papers for packaging has been certified as home or industrially compostable.
The certification is said to underpin the company’s MAP2030 (Mondi Action Plan 2030) sustainability commitment to make 100% of its packaging and paper products reusable, recyclable, or compostable by 2025.
Mondi said that while recyclability remains the company’s focus to keep fibres in circulation, composting can be a viable end-of-life option for certain applications, such as those disposed in the bio-waste stream.
An example of Mondi’s compostable kraft papers is Advantage MF EcoComp, which is designed for household and agricultural use and used for paper bags for wet organic household waste. A further example is Mondi’s EcoVantage kraft paper, which combines fresh and recycled fibres for shopping packaging.
Silvia Hanzelova, sales director specialty kaft paper, Mondi, said, “Certifications like these illustrate our ongoing commitment to provide our customers with the most suitable and sustainable packaging materials and solutions. They give all our industrial, commercial and manufacturing customers the confidence that our papers are compostable and reassure them that, with us, they are working towards a more sustainable future.”
