With growing concerns over climate change and plastic pollution, Josh Packaging is committed to offer our customers environmentally friendly packaging options. Our R&D team is current with recyclable/compostable packaging trends, and we have already partnered with reputable suppliers that offer sustainable materials.

Below are the different environmentally friendly options we offer:

Compostable Products

  • Packaging is made from bio plastics 
  • Bio plastics are resins made from organic and renewable resources like corn, sugarcane, cellulose and more
  • Substitutes traditional resins made from petroleum products like crude oil that cannot be composted
  • Bio-plastics breaks down into carbon dioxide, water, or biomass at the same rate as paper while not emitting any toxic materials in the process 
  • Bio-plastics biodegrade in industrial composting facilities per conditions set by ASTM D6400.
  • Can be produced in both roll-stock and pouch format

Recyclable Products

  • Packaging is made exclusively from different kinds of polyethylene
  • Replaces traditional PET/PE laminate structures that cannot be recycled 
  • Packaging can be recycled with other polyethylene bags at “Store Drop-off” bins found outside supermarkets. 
  • Can be produced in both roll-stock and pouch format
