Where Can Auckland Businesses Send Food Waste and Compostable Packaging?
Certified compostable packaging was developed to support the recovery of food waste and organic material through commercial organics collection systems. International compostability standards were established to ensure packaging could be biologically recycled alongside food waste under controlled composting conditions. Without access to collection and processing infrastructure, however, these materials cannot fulfil their intended purpose.
