Sustainability

We help customers reduce unnecessary material, improve recyclability and choose options such as mono-materials, FSC-certified paper and PCR content where they make sense.

Holden Pak is committed to long-term sustainability.

At our materials R&D center in Guangzhou, we keep up with evolving regulations and help our customers navigate compliance requirements, including BRCGS- and FDA-related documentation.

Material options

Sustainable Material

Every material choice affects recyclability, barrier performance, cost and appearance. We recommend based on product needs and market requirements.

100% Biodegradable

Made from renewable resources, including the zipper and valve. Under appropriate composting conditions, the materials can break down into carbon dioxide and water.

Recommended

For brands looking to reduce their reliance on conventional plastics and explore renewable packaging materials.

Note

Biodegradable packaging requires specific conditions to break down properly. Please check local disposal options.

100% Home Compostable

Compared with conventional biodegradable packaging, home-compostable packaging requires less demanding composting conditions. It can break down in suitable home composting environments without relying on industrial composting facilities.

Recommended

For brands that want packaging designed to break down in suitable home composting conditions.

Note

Composting results depend on temperature, moisture, and time. Always check the packaging's compostability certification.

100% Recyclable, Mono-LDPE, RIC 4

Made entirely from a single type of plastic, making it easier to recycle. Mono-LDPE is compatible with many existing PE recycling systems, where collection and recycling facilities are available. It also aligns with the recyclability objectives of the EU's PPWR and EPR frameworks.

Recommended

For brands looking for recyclable packaging that fits into existing PE recycling systems where available.

Note

Recycling availability varies by region. Check whether your local collection program accepts flexible PE packaging.

PCR Rice Paper

Also available with a kraft paper finish. This packaging combines a renewable paper-based outer layer with an inner layer of post-consumer recycled (PCR) PE. It gives previously used plastic a second life while reducing demand for virgin plastic. Its aluminum-free structure is another key benefit.

Recommended

For brands that prefer a natural, paper-like appearance while reducing their use of virgin plastic.

Note

The paper and PCR plastic layers may be difficult to separate, so the finished pouch may not be recyclable through standard collection programs.
