The ROOTREE™ Advantage
…And it doesn’t stop there; we’re in the business of helping businesses like yours. Learn more about how Rootree can give you the advantage you deserve.
Compostable
Rootree believes that sustainability is the standard.
We use a proprietary combination that includes bio-based, renewable, and non-GMO materials to create environmentally friendly packaging that you can be proud of.
Turtle Films
Our compostable packaging is made from our very own compostable packaging material, Turtle Films.
Compostable vs. Biodegradable
Everything starts to break down – but will it be in five weeks or five years?
The term biodegradable sounds nice, but it tends to create a false belief that it’ll break down, disappear, and leave no trace on the environment.
Whereas with compostable packaging is made from plant derivatives, meaning they’ll naturally decompose with the help of heat, moisture, and microbes – gently re-entering the earth without leaving harmful toxins behind.

It is not recommended to fill pouches to a weight that is more than double the indicated pouch weight (for example, a pouch sized for 250g of coffee should not be filled with more than 500g of any product).
It is highly recommended to close the pouch zipper before heat sealing.
Compostable Identification Logo
Your company is making an impact – so why not make it known? The world of compostable products is a complicated one, and we want to make sure that the end consumer is informed about what they’re buying. To this end, we have created an identification logo that we require to be placed in a visible location on your packaging.
