Q What is the difference between "Home" and "Industrial" compostable?
A Industrial compostable bags require specific high-temperature facilities to break down. Home Compostable (Back to Earth™) means the bag will decompose in a standard backyard compost bin at ambient temperatures, making it far more environmentally friendly for the end consumer.

Q How long is the shelf life for coffee in these bags?
A While compostable materials are breathable by nature, our high-barrier bio-liner provides an excellent seal. You can expect a 6–9 month shelf life for whole bean coffee, making it perfect for the fast-turnover specialty coffee market.
-
Q Are these bags PFAS-free?
A Yes. Many compostable coatings contain PFAS to resist oil and moisture. Our Back to Earth™ pouches use a proprietary plant-based barrier that is 100% PFAS-free, ensuring no "forever chemicals" enter the soil during composting.
-
Q Can the bags be custom-branded?
A Absolutely. We use water-based and soy-based inks to ensure that your branding doesn't interfere with the composability of the bag. We recommend minimalist designs to let the natural kraft texture shine through.
