Our compostable packaging has been purpose-designed to allow us to reduce our impact on the environment while still retaining the same level of functionality and food safety provided by traditional plastic films.

Our high barrier compostable packaging is made from three different compostable films that are laminated together to lock in the freshness, taste and flavour. The three films are derived from sustainably-produced wood pulp and GM-free corn sources. Each film has been certified to the European and American commercial compostability standards (EN 13432 and ASTM6400) and either the European or Australian home compostable standards: OK Compost Home or AS5810.

Our packaging is compostable when disposed of in a home or industrial composting environment containing heat, water, oxygen, soil and micro-organisms.

Waste Management

All of the waste generated to make Rascals Treats is also managed in the most environmentally friendly manner. Most of the waste we generate is organic and sent to composting facilities each week. Rascals Treats has been an accredited ACT Government Actsmart business recycler since 2020.
