Why we do not publish a price or a fixed MOQ here. This is priced by material and by run length rather than per piece, and both move with the resin index. A minimum order is set by the economics of a single production run, not by a policy. We state it against your actual specification rather than as a number that rots.
What it is
A pouch built entirely from certified compostable substrates — cellulose film, PLA, PBAT, paper — so the whole pack disintegrates in industrial (or, for some certifications, home) composting. Requires compostable adhesives and inks as well as compostable films; a conventional PU adhesive voids the certification.
