Our Circular Material Frameworks

All products on the noissue platform belong to one of the below circular frameworks:

Compostable packaging is typically made from a number of renewable plant-based materials and/or bio-polymers.

To be certified home compostable, a product must break down in home compost within 180 days and 90 days in commercial composting conditions.

Why it’s awesome?

Cardboard and paper products are a great addition to the backyard compost as it helps with the carbon-nitrogen ratio. Easily broken down in a compost, these products also tend to have chemical compounds removed from the product.

Ensuring Success

Sometimes people don’t notice that something is compostable, meaning it can sometimes end up in the landfill. If you don’t have a home compost, you can look at local options for communal compost sites, or somewhere you can drop off items for commercial composting.

The Circular Economy: Compostable

From conceptualization, we create products that fit into a circular framework. For our compostable products, we encourage this by having our products be home and commercially compostable.

"A circular economy aims to redefine growth, focusing on positive society-wide benefits. It entails gradually decoupling economic activity from the consumption of finite resources, and designing waste out of the system.
It represents a systemic shift that builds long-term resilience, generates business and economic opportunities, and provides environmental and societal benefits."
