Our 100% Compostable Bubble Mailers are the ultimate eco-friendly and sustainable shipping solution designed for various industries like apparel and cosmetics. Crafted from a unique blend of cornstarch and PLA (Polylactic Acid) with PBAT (Polybutylene Adipate-co-Terephthalate), these mailers exemplify our dedication to preserving the planet. We control all steps of our supply chain and ensure that all cornstarch used in our mailers is sourced from discarded corn that is no longer fit for human consumption. The innovative combination of materials not only ensures outstanding durability but also guarantees complete biodegradability within just 180 days when composted in a home composting bin. Say goodbye to harmful plastic waste and embrace packaging that aligns with your eco-conscious values.

These eco-friendly bubble mailers are not only gentle on the environment but also provide reliable protection for your shipped products. Boasting water-resistant properties, they safeguard your items from potential damage caused by moisture during transit. Whether you're shipping delicate apparel or sensitive cosmetic products, rest assured that our compostable mailers will keep them safe and secure throughout their journey.

To ensure optimal performance, we recommend storing these compostable bubble mailers in a cool, dry place. Their shelf life of up to 1 year makes them a great packaging option, but it's essential not to keep excess stock on hand to maintain their integrity and compostability. By striking the right balance between ordering quantities and their usage, you can maximize their benefits while minimizing waste.

Like any material, Compostable film has it's pros and cons, while it is home compostable, it also has a shelf life of about 1 year before strength can no longer be guaranteed. Depending on your order volume, you may want to consider a different material, like Kraft paper which does not have a shelf life and is both recyclable and compostable.

Collapsible content

Is compostable packaging good for the environment?

Our perspective on compostable packaging evolves with ongoing research and new findings. One thing remains clear: we can't continue to depend solely on paper and LDPE (plastic) for future packaging solutions. Innovation in materials is essential, which is why we currently offer compostable options. While our present offerings may not be "perfect," the absence of investment from companies like ours would hinder progress toward the ideal compostable material. There are challenges, such as incomplete composting infrastructure and the lack of a strong alternative to fossil-based PBAT, a common binder in many bags. However, without exploring these options and supporting R&D in material science, legislative changes and the development of new materials will stall. For this reason, we see compostable technologies as a crucial investment in the future.

Do your bags contain microplastics?

No, they don’t. Many “biodegradable” plastics are often oxo-degradable plastics. These are produced from conventional non-biodegradable plastics, enhanced with additives that simulate biodegradation to promote material fragmentation. These plastics disintegrate into tiny fragments that persist in the environment. Our bags are completely different — there is no polyethylene structure in the bags. Instead, when they break down, they dissolve into water, organic biomass, and C02.

What are the certifications?

The bags are certified by all three industry certifiers; Vincotte, BPI and Dincerto, meeting American, European, International and Australian standards – including certifications for your domestic home compost. To gain these certifications, the product must break down within 90 days in commercial compost and 180 days in home compost conditions, including wormfarm compost. After degradation, they must leave no harmful residues behind. In fact, the only residue left behind is a soil enhancer which is returned to the earth as plant food.

What is the shelf life?

This is very important. To ensure maximum longevity, EcoPackables mailers should be stored in a dark, dry place. If stored correctly, they will be strong enough to send parcels around the world for at least 9-12 months, if not, their strength will be compromised. This is why we recommend ordering in 6-month intervals.
