Compostable packaging

Compostable packaging

Certain types of compostable packaging do not need to be recyclable

In addition to recycling, compostable packaging also helps to reduce the environmental impact and promote a circular economy. The following packaging types do not have to be recyclable if they are compostable:

  • Permeable tea or coffee bags disposed with product

  • Permeable or soft after use coffee or tea single-serve units disposed with product

  • Sticky labels

We anticipate that this provision will take effect around Q1 2028
