How Better Packaging's ranges compare

Our Compostable Range, POLLAST!C Range, Bamboo Range and 0Packs have different sustainability profiles and for most brands the decision usually comes down to being fit for purpose, preferred aesthetic, print/colour requirements, MOQ, price and shelf life.

Here's a helpful comparison of our two most popular ranges and will help explain why our POLLAST!C solutions are fundamentally better than compostable.
