Quite often, such convenient-to-use tea bags require additional packaging in the form of a sachet. It protects the thin tea bag from external mechanical and physical impact and at the same time preserves the properties and aroma of the tea. Therefore, the requirements for the material for the outer, protective packaging are quite high.

It is all the more pleasing that finally there is one that meets the requirements of protection and is environmentally friendly at the same time. We are talking about the flexible packaging for tea bags presented by Parkside, which on the one hand provides the necessary barrier properties, and on the other is completely compostable.

The new material is plastic-free and is made from bio-based paper and Futamura's NatureFlex™ metallized cellulose films, which are made from wood pulp.

The company claims that the new packaging can completely degrade within 26 weeks, depending on the efficiency of the compost. The materials are reportedly returned to the soil without causing any harmful effects on the environment.

It should be noted that Parkside has been developing biodegradable laminates for almost 10 years and has more than 20 certified compostable materials in its portfolio. The new one will perfectly complement the company's product line.
