In today’s packaging landscape, businesses are facing dual pressures: meet modern sustainability goals while preserving product freshness and integrity. This is especially true in the food industry, where vacuum packaging plays a vital role in extending shelf life and preventing spoilage. However, traditional vacuum bags made from multi-layer plastics like PE, PA, or PET are difficult to recycle and almost impossible to compost—resulting in long-term environmental waste.
Enter biodegradable vacuum bags—a next-generation solution that seals in freshness without leaving behind plastic waste. Engineered for performance, food safety, and compostability, these plant-based vacuum bags are helping food manufacturers, exporters, and eco-conscious brands transition toward a circular packaging model.
What Are Biodegradable Vacuum Bags Made Of?
Biodegradable vacuum seal bags are made using plant-based or bio-derived materials that mimic the structure and function of conventional plastic, but break down naturally after use.
PBAT (Polybutylene adipate terephthalate)
A flexible biodegradable polymer that enhances stretch and seal strength.
PLA (Polylactic Acid)
Derived from corn starch or sugarcane; transparent, food-safe, and compostable.
Bio-composites
Blends of PLA, PBAT, and natural fillers (like starch or cellulose) to balance flexibility, strength, and decomposition rate.
These bags are heat-sealable, compatible with existing vacuum sealing equipment, and suitable for a wide range of applications—from frozen meats and seafood to dry nuts, cheese, and ready meals.
Why Make the Switch? Key Benefits of Compostable Vacuum Bags
Food-Grade Performance Without Plastic Pollution
Biodegradable vacuum bags offer sealing and storage properties equivalent to their petroleum-based counterparts:
-
Excellent oxygen and moisture barrier
-
Durable heat-sealing strength
-
Suitable for refrigeration and freezing (−20°C)
-
Optional anti-fog and printable surfaces
Whether you’re exporting frozen shrimp or packaging sliced deli meats for retail, these bags maintain product freshness while drastically reducing plastic pollution.
Fully Compostable and Certified Safe
Our biodegradable vacuum bags are:
-
Home-compostable (certified OK Compost Home / TUV Austria)
-
Industrially compostable (EN 13432, ASTM D6400)
-
Free from microplastics and toxic residues
-
Break down in 90–180 days in compost conditions
Unlike oxo-degradable plastics, which fragment without truly decomposing, our compostable films return to nature as CO₂, water, and biomass.
Industries That Benefit Most
Our biodegradable vacuum bags are widely used in:
-
Frozen food exports: shrimp, fish fillets, plant-based meats
-
Meat & poultry processing: sausages, sliced ham, vacuum-aged beef
-
Dairy & specialty food: cheese blocks, butter, tofu
-
Dry foods: grains, nuts, seeds, snacks
-
Pet food & supplements: treats, freeze-dried mixes
Whether you're a premium food brand looking to reduce your plastic footprint or a wholesaler supplying global markets, compostable vacuum bags provide both sustainability and functionality.
