Today’s retailers and consumers alike are requiring the packaging they purchase to meet a higher standard of sustainability than ever before, and there are a number of new terms we’ve all been educated to understand:  Recycle-ready, post-consumer recycled content, compostable, and biodegradable.

 But did you know this?

• Recycle-Ready – less than 9% of all recycle-ready flexible packaging actually gets recycled
• Post-Consumer Recycled – these materials are not recyclable after use
• Compostable – less than 5% of the U.S. population has a municipal compost center
• Biodegradable – actually breaks down in an anaerobic landfill environment
