Tortoba Packaging takes several specific measures to ensure the biodegradability of its products.
Here are the key measures they implement:
- Material Selection: Tortoba Packaging uses high-quality, unbleached kraft paper derived from sustainably sourced wood fibres. This material is inherently biodegradable, breaking down naturally under the right conditions. By avoiding synthetic additives and bleaches, they enhance the compostability of their products.
- Compostability Certification: To ensure that their products meet strict environmental criteria, Tortoba Packaging works with certifying organisations that test their products for compostability. These certifications provide assurance that their products will break down safely in commercial and home compost environments.
- Product Design: The design of Tortoba Packaging’s products focuses on minimising environmental impact. This includes using materials that are not only biodegradable but also lightweight, reducing the overall resource consumption during production and transport.
- No Toxic Substances: Tortoba Packaging avoids the use of toxic chemicals and substances in its products. This ensures that when the products biodegrade, they do not release harmful substances into the soil, which is crucial for both human health and the ecosystem.
- Education on Proper Disposal: To promote biodegradability, Tortoba Packaging provides information on the correct disposal methods for their products. They educate customers on how to compost the products, helping to ensure that they are disposed of in a way that allows for natural breakdown.
- Research and Development: The company invests in ongoing research to identify new biodegradable materials and improve existing formulations. This commitment to innovation helps them stay at the forefront of environmentally friendly packaging solutions.
- Lifecycle Analysis: Tortoba Packaging conducts lifecycle assessments to evaluate the environmental impact of their products from creation to disposal. This analysis helps them identify areas for improvement and further reduce their ecological footprint.
- Engagement with the Composting Industry: Tortoba Packaging collaborates with composting facilities to ensure that their products are accepted and processed correctly within commercial composting systems, bridging the gap between product usage and effective end-of-life disposal.
Through these specific measures, Tortoba Packaging focuses on creating products that are not only functional and appealing but also environmentally responsible, promoting a sustainable cycle in packaging waste management.
