BAR-U-EAT has officially released its new Biodegradable Products Institute (BPI) Certified Compostable Packaging for its individually wrapped bars. It is the first bar company in the world to offer packaging which carries the certification for the entire package – a move that ensures that their packaging will break down properly in commercial compost systems and not contaminate the environment.
The new packaging is composed of plant-based materials from FSC Certified sustainably managed forests. It additionally complies with the specifications established in the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) D6400 to be aerobically composted and is biodegradable. Every year over 2 billion pre-packaged snack, protein, and energy bars are consumed, almost all of which come in single use plastics or multi-layered wrappers.
BAR-U-EAT’s packaging can break down to become nutrient rich soil. BAR-U-EAT is already compliant with California’s SB 54 legislation which requires all packaging in the state to be third party verified recyclable or compostable by 2032.
