Sustainability
Nachhaltigkeit_der_Natur_-_www
We love a sustainable and clean planet!
This means we pay particular attention to the sustainability of the products we use and offer. In addition to mindfulness in our everyday dealings, purchasing new products is also an important part of how we can save a lot of energy. Purchasing new products always requires more energy than maintaining what we already have.
Compostable packaging
For us, sustainability means closing the circle of nature. Product packaging that is not reused sensibly is wasted energy. We close the circle by using compostable packaging and foil in addition to recycled paper for the seed bags!
Compostable packaging is not only sustainable and environmentally friendly, but also contributes to the build-up of humus in the compost. Less household waste and a good soil structure in the compost are advantages that we can gain from the unused waste every day.
Benjis seeds is leading the way and is moving purposefully towards equipping other people's products with compostable packaging.
 Soon you will be able to find compostable product packaging to match your handmade products here on our website.

Further interesting information about plastics and their names
Bio-based plastics
These materials are made from renewable raw materials such as corn, starch or cellulose. The packaging produced is 100 percent compostable in its composition without leaving any residue. Even if the compositions can vary in general and industries add a cheaper material that is not compostable, our packaging always has 100 percent renewable and compostable properties.
Tip: Bio-based plastic does not always have to be biodegradable. For example, sugar cane is grown in Brazil, from which bio-PET is made, which is not biodegradable.
Compostable packaging
Are materials that decompose 100 percent within a given period of time through clearly defined biological processes, such as through organisms, under certain conditions. This is a new special form of biodegradable plastics that is achieved using modern technologies. Our compostable packaging is made from polylactic acid (PLA), among other things. As with bio-based plastics, packaging is also made from corn, starch or cellulose.
Kompostierbar_Label_-_Compostable_lable_-_www
With this label you can safely throw your remaining packaging into the compost
Additional tip:
In the case of biodegradable plastics, the term only refers to the disposal of the materials. A plastic can be described as biodegradable if it decomposes into water and carbon dioxide within an indefinite period of time due to biological processes. Packaging with this term does not necessarily have to be based on biological materials. This term also says nothing about the manufacturing process.
