How Compostable Packaging Helps Small Businesses Thrive

At Better Earth, we’re proud to support small businesses that are making a difference in their communities and the environment.

1.) Reduce your environmental impact

Compostable packaging helps reduce your carbon footprint, cut reliance on non-renewable resources, and divert waste from landfills. By partnering with local composting facilities or conducting a waste audit, you can ensure your organic waste is processed sustainably.

4.) Save money over time

While the upfront cost of compostable packaging might seem higher, it can lead to long-term savings. Decreasing waste disposal fees and future-proofing against increasing costs of non-compliant materials can positively impact your bottom line.

3.) Stay ahead of regulations

Many regions are cracking down on single-use plastics and non-recyclable materials. Compostable packaging ensures you’re in compliance with evolving regulations, saving you potential fines and headaches.
