Compostable tea packaging bags: a new choice to promote sustainable development of the tea industry
2025-04-21

With the improvement of global environmental awareness, the tea industry is actively seeking more sustainable packaging solutions. 

Traditional tea packaging bags are mostly made of plastic composite film or aluminum foil, which are difficult to degrade and easy to cause environmental pollution. 

Against this background, compostable tea packaging bags came into being and became an important step for the industry to move towards a green future.

Market demand drives change

According to market research data, more than 60% of consumers prefer environmentally friendly packaging products when buying tea. 

This trend has prompted tea brands and packaging manufacturers to accelerate the development of compostable materials to reduce plastic pollution.


As an environmentally friendly packaging supplier, OEMY Packaging has launched compostable tea packaging bags based on PLA and PBAT in recent years. 

OEMY Packaging's goal is to provide tea brands with packaging solutions that meet environmental standards and maintain product freshness.

Technical Challenges and Breakthroughs

Although compostable packaging has significant advantages in terms of environmental protection, its promotion still faces many challenges.


Material performance: Compostable materials need to reach the same level as traditional plastics in terms of barrier properties, mechanical strength and 

sealing properties to ensure that the shelf life and flavor of tea are not affected.


Composting conditions: Currently, most compostable packaging needs to be decomposed in industrial composting facilities, which is difficult to meet the 

requirements in home composting environments.


Cost factors: The cost of bio-based materials is still higher than that of traditional plastics, but with the maturity of technology and large-scale production, 

the price is expected to gradually decrease.


OEMY Packaging's R&D team optimizes the material ratio and processing technology, and uses plant-based PLA combined with natural fiber reinforcement 

technology to make the packaging bag have better moisture-proof and antioxidant properties while maintaining compostable properties.

Industry cooperation promotes sustainable development

In order to accelerate the popularization of compostable packaging, OEMY Packaging has cooperated with a number of tea brands and environmental 

protection organizations to promote the green transformation of the industrial chain.


In addition, OEMY Packaging It also actively participates in the formulation of industry standards to meet future market demand.


Future Outlook

Although compostable tea packaging still faces problems such as insufficient infrastructure and low consumer awareness, the industry generally believes that 

with policy support and technological progress, its market penetration will steadily increase.


OEMY Packaging promises to continue to invest in research and development to optimize the performance of compostable packaging and 

promote the global tea industry to develop in a more sustainable direction.
