A flat-bottom treat pouch in a plant-derived film direction, offered as a development project with no end-of-life claim yet.
Specification
| Bag type | Green & Recyclable |
| Structure | Flat-bottom pouch built from a plant-based film direction, with quad corner seals, a reinforced bottom panel and a zipper that is intended to be matched to the same plant-derived polymer family |
| Material | DRAFT / TO CONFIRM - plant-derived film direction. Sample candidates: (a) plant-based polyester film 20 micron / water-based ink / plant-based sealant 80-95 micron; (b) a starch- or cellulose-blend film with a high-barrier coating for the freeze-dried application. The industrial composting conditions required, the film's actual disintegration and biodegradation behaviour, the print ink compatibility and the zipper material are all UNVERIFIED. No film grade is selected and no compostability test has been run. |
| Total thickness | 100-120 microns total (Draft / To Confirm) |
| Closure | Press-to-close zipper below the top seal with an easy-tear notch; a plant-based zipper profile is under evaluation - To Confirm |
| Print process | Flexographic surface print, up to 6 stations, with inks selected for compatibility with the plant-based film - ink system To Confirm (Draft / To Confirm) |
| Finish | Matte finish with a natural hand feel; no foil, no metallic ink and no coating that would interfere with the intended end-of-life route |
| Window | None. A window would add a second material to a pack whose entire purpose is a single end-of-life route - not offered |
| Handle | None. Not applicable to this retail format |
| Degassing valve | None. No valve and no spout; dry treats only. Any valve would have to be plant-derived and is not available |

| Environmental claim status | CLAIM PENDING - NOT VERIFIED - HIGHEST RISK SKU IN THIS SET. No compostability, biodegradability, plant-based content or recyclability claim is validated, and none may be made. This SKU must NOT be sold or listed with words such as 'compostable', 'biodegradable', 'home compostable', 'zero waste' or 'plastic free' until all of the following are on file: a specific end-of-life standard test report for the finished pack from an accredited laboratory; a statement of the disposal conditions the pack actually requires; clarity on whether those conditions exist in the target US and Canadian markets; confirmation that the zipper, any adhesive and the ink do not disqualify the pack; and a legal review of the resulting wording. Until then the only permitted description is 'plant-derived film direction under development - no end-of-life claim, disposal route to be confirmed'. If the test results do not support a claim, this SKU ships as a standard film pouch with no green wording. |
About this structure
This pouch exists to test a plant-derived film in a retail treat format, not to carry a badge. It uses a flat-bottom construction with quad corner seals so it stands squarely, a zipper intended to be matched to the same plant-derived polymer family, and an ink system selected so it does not interfere with the end-of-life route being evaluated. Because the film grade is not yet selected and no end-of-life test has been run, the pack is offered to buyers on the basis that the disposal route and the wording will be settled by the validation programme, and that the fallback is a mono-material PE structure if the results do not support the intended route. The front panel stays blank. Duties & taxes are not included in quoted prices.
Why brands choose it
- Under Development - plant-derived film with no badge, honest and unfinished
- Green & Recyclable
