Compostable film producer, Futamura, flexible packaging converter Repaq, and machine manufacturer GK Sondermaschinenbau have launched a fully compostable sachet suitable for ingredients such as ketchup, mustard, cooking sauces, and hand cream.Commonly used for condiments, sauces, and personal care creams, many sachets consist of complex layers of materials such as polyolefins, aluminum, and polyester. While the structure helps preserve products throughout the supply chain and ensures their required shelf life, it also makes the packaging difficult to recycle, particularly given their small size and contamination with residual product after use.
