BPI 101: What It Is, When To Use, And How To Choose | Bioleader® Guides

Serving as compostable food trays, our products get degraded over time when placed within activating environments, thus contributing towards minimal damage to the landfills while providing a much more environmentally friendly packaging. These bagasse food trays are not harmful to the environment which is a major shift towards a more responsible and eco-friendly practice instead of the use of plastic trays for food service.

They are commonly made from compostable materials like sugarcane bagasse, bamboo fiber, kraft paper, or PLA (plant-based bioplastic). These materials are biodegradable and offer a sustainable alternative to plastic and foam trays.

Yes , BPI. Sugarcane bagasse trays are heat-resistant up to 120°C and freezer-safe down to -10°C. They can be used for hot meals, chilled foods, and even reheating in the microwave without losing structural integrity — BPI.

EN13432 is now the non-negotiable “passport” for any compostable food packaging or tableware sold in the EU. All “compostable” and “biodegradable” claims must be backed by EN13432 certification and, in most countries, third-party registration (e.g., TÜV Austria, DIN CERTCO).

No , BPI. In most US states, 'biodegradable' or 'compostable' tableware must be BPI-certified and comply with ASTM D6400. Unverified claims are illegal and products may be removed from the market.
