Compostable gas-permeable bags Papstar bioMAT 340 x 225 mm — industrially compostable

Papstar bioMAT gas-permeable bags 340 x 225 mm are industrially compostable packaging designed to provide controlled gas exchange for perishable goods and organic waste. The bags are intended for applications where respiration within the package is required, such as storing fresh produce, foodservice leftovers, or separating compostable disposables. Constructed to meet industrial composting conditions, these bags reduce plastic waste and offer a disposal route aligned with commercial composting facilities.

Advantages

These gas-permeable bags combine material breathability with certified industrial compostability, enabling packaged products to release moisture and gases while remaining contained. Their dimensions (340 x 225 mm) suit a range of portion sizes and small food items. The bags are compatible with commercial composting and waste-separation workflows, helping to streamline disposal in institutional or catering environments.

Suitable for

• Storage and short-term transport of fruits, vegetables and other fresh produce
• Separation and collection of organic kitchen waste in catering and foodservice
• Packaging of compostable disposables and service items for collection
• Retail portioning of perishable items requiring airflow to avoid condensation

Key specifications

• Format: rectangular bags, nominal size 340 x 225 mm

• End-of-life: designed for industrial composting processes under appropriate conditions
• Typical use environment: foodservice, catering, retail and waste-separation streams
• Packaging function: containment with breathability to reduce condensation and odors

How to use

Place items inside the bag without overfilling to ensure adequate airflow and close or fold the opening as appropriate for transport or short-term storage. Use the bags for collection of organic waste or compostable disposables and deliver them to an industrial composting facility or an authorised collection scheme that accepts industrially compostable materials. Avoid exposing the bags to prolonged direct sunlight or high temperatures beyond normal food storage conditions prior to composting.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use these bags for short-term storage and transport of perishable goods and for separation of organic waste within commercial composting streams; confirm acceptance criteria with local industrial composting facilities before disposal.
