Environmentally friendly packaging which promotes high functionality and a low impact on the environment
Bioware® is Huhtamaki's sustainable packaging concept. Bioware® offers a wide choice of quality enviromentally friendly packaging products ranging from disposable tableware to food containers and other packaging solutions.
The products in Huhtamaki's Bioware® range are made mostly from renewable natural materials that decompose completely in industrial composting conditions.
The materials, production methods and disposal of the Bioware® products have been designed to minimise their impact on the environment – in other words, to optimise their impact in relation to the requirements placed on the product packaging.
How to dispose of your Bioware® packaging products
All Bioware® environementally friendly packaging products are certified in accordance with EN13432, the European norm for compostability of packaging.
When disposed of in the optimal conditions (60ºC, 95% humidity) of an industrial composting facility, environmentally friendly Bioware® products compost into soil in 45-60 days.

• Food safe
