Compostable Packaging:
Our Commitments
Observation: Single-use plastic packaging is a dead end.
At Biowrap, compostable packaging It is not simply a matter of replacing one material with another. It involves designing solutions tailored to the constraints of the palletizing, packaging, and logistics, while incorporating end-of-life considerations from the design stage.
Our compostable packaging are designed to combine durability, compatibility with industrial equipment, and a sustainable reduction in plastic waste. Our goal: to enable companies to adopt a more responsible packaging solution without compromising the performance essential to their operations.
Why Compostable Packaging Has Become Essential
Single-use plastic has become widely adopted in the industry due to its durability, low cost, and versatility. However, its end-of-life management remains a major challenge for companies seeking to reduce the environmental impact of their logistics operations and packaging.
Compostable packaging meets two requirements: it effectively protects goods during storage and transport, and it ensures a more responsible end-of-life. The goal is not to compromise on performance, but to offer a credible alternative to traditional plastic film when usage, equipment, and available recycling systems allow it.
At Biowrap, we believe that the future of packaging lies in solutions that are simpler, more transparent, and designed from the outset to minimize their environmental impact.
Our commitment:
to balance performance with responsible end-of-life management
At Biowrap, we reject the idea that responsible packaging should come at the expense of performance. Our solutions are designed to meet the real-world challenges of industrial packaging: load retention, mechanical strength, ease of use, and compatibility with existing production lines.
End-of-life care is an integral part of our approach. Our compostable packaging are developed with a focus on recycling that is consistent with applicable certifications and available processing channels. In this way, we support companies that wish to improve their practices without compromising the reliability of their operations.
Our team will help you identify the compostable solution that is compatible with your equipment and production volumes.
Our commitment is built around three key pillars:
Reducing Industrial Packaging Waste
We develop solutions designed to reduce the use of traditional plastic film in palletizing applications and packaging. Our approach aims to reduce the amount of material used without compromising product protection or load stability.
Sustainable industrial packaging must meet real-world requirements: protect goods, keep pace with production rates, and contribute to efforts to reduce plastic waste.
Replace conventional plastic with compostable alternatives
Our compostable stretch films offer an alternative for companies seeking sustainable industrial packaging. They are designed to combine technical performance, transparency, durability, and an end-of-life cycle that aligns with the product’s certifications.
This approach makes it possible to improve packaging and logistics practices while maintaining the qualities expected of professional packaging: structural integrity, protection, and ease of use.
Supporting Companies Through Their Transition
Every industrial project has its own specific constraints: type of goods, machinery used, volumes, production rates, and transportation requirements. Biowrap works with its clients to select and test solutions that are compatible with their operations, in order to facilitate a gradual and measurable transition.
Our role is to help companies identify the most suitable solution for their needs, particularly when it comes to industrial compostable stretch film, palletizing, and professional packaging.
Commitments backed by concrete evidence.
Our approach is based on verifiable factors: technology developed after several years of research, durability testing, compatibility with industrial equipment, and compostability certifications for the relevant products.
Technology Born from Research
Our solutions are the result of several years of development focused on compostable materials and their industrial applications.
Stress tests
Mechanical performance is evaluated to ensure it meets the actual demands of packaging, storage, and transportation.
Industrial compatibility
The packaging is designed to work with the palletizing equipment and processes used by companies.
Appropriate certifications
Compostability is described based on the certifications applicable to each product, with end-of-life conditions clearly specified.
We prioritize providing clear information about the performance, terms of use, and end-of-life of our solutions. This allows each company to assess whether industrial compostable packaging is suitable for its specific needs.

A committed circular production approach.
At Biowrap, we believe in a simple vision: materials should not become waste without a way to repurpose them. Every processed resource must serve a purpose before, during, and after its use.
Our goal is to minimize waste generation as much as possible and to return used materials to an appropriate recycling cycle. This approach of the circular economy of packaging guides our design choices and the way we support manufacturers.
We design our solutions with a high level of rigor:
reduce losses at every stage,
limit the use of conventional plastics;
offer compostable packaging when appropriate;
design products with a more responsible end-of-life in mind.
The circular economy is not a theoretical concept.
It is a daily practice, involving technical decisions, transparency, and continuous improvement, aimed at moving toward a model in which materials circulate rather than accumulate.
Certifications and End-of-Life of Our
Compostable Packaging
Compostable packaging must be evaluated according to specific standards. The certifications associated with our solutions help identify the composting conditions covered and provide a reliable reference for user companies.
Before implementing any solution, it is essential to review the collection and processing options available locally. Our teams can assist companies in analyzing their needs and identifying the most suitable solution.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions About Compostable Packaging
Qu’est-ce qu’un emballage compostable ?
Un emballage compostable est conçu pour se décomposer dans des conditions de compostage définies, sans laisser de résidus nocifs. Les conditions de dégradation dépendent de la certification du produit et peuvent concerner le compostage industriel, le compostage domestique, ou les deux.
Quelle est la différence entre emballage biodégradable et compostable ?
Un emballage biodégradable est conçu pour être décomposé par des micro-organismes. Toutefois, cette appellation ne précise ni le temps nécessaire à sa dégradation ni les conditions dans lesquelles celle-ci doit avoir lieu. En France, depuis 2022, un emballage ne peut être présenté comme biodégradable sans une certification attestant cette propriété. Un emballage biodégradable compostable et répond à des exigences plus précises normées: il doit se biodégrader dans des conditions définies par des normes (EN13432) et donne lui à des certifications par des organismes..
Les emballages compostables sont-ils adaptés à l’industrie ?
Oui. Un emballage compostable est conçu pour répondre aux contraintes de conditionnement, de stockage et de transport. Chez Biowrap, nos solutions sont développées pour associer fin de vie responsable, résistance mécanique et compatibilité avec les usages professionnels.
Un film compostable peut-il remplacer un film plastique étirable classique ?
Oui. Un film compostable est une alternative au film plastique traditionnel pour des applications de palettisation et de conditionnement. Les films compostables proposent des performances équivalentes au plastiques, et sont plus résistants à la déchirure. Ils s’adaptent à tous types de charges, d’équipement, et de conditions de transports. Pour répondre au mieux à chaque besoin, Biowrap étudie chaque demande afin de proposer une solution adaptée.
Comment choisir un emballage compostable adapté à mon activité ?
Le choix d’un emballage compostable dépend de votre secteur, de votre usage, du niveau de protection nécessaire, de vos équipements et des solutions de collecte disponibles. Notre équipe vous accompagne pour évaluer la compatibilité de nos films et emballages avec votre activité.
Les emballages compostables peuvent-ils être jetés dans tous les bacs de déchets ?
Non. La bonne filière dépend du produit, de sa certification et des consignes de collecte locales. Il est important de vérifier les modalités de tri et de valorisation disponibles avant le déploiement d’un emballage compostable dans votre entreprise.
