FAQ

Is kraft paper compostable?

Kraft alone is paper-recyclable in many markets, but most food pouches use a PE inner liner — check whether your structure is mono-material or multi-layer before making compost claims.

Can kraft work for coffee?

Yes for short rotation SKUs sold within 4–8 weeks. For 3–6 month shelf life, pair with a degassing valve and consider foil laminate instead.
