The Home Compostable Polybag Project
Fashion for Good initiated the Home Compostable Polybag Project to explore alternatives to conventional plastic polybags. In collaboration with innovators TIPA Corp. and Greenhope, along with partners C&A and Levi Strauss & Co., the initiative focused on researching, assessing, and validating bio-based, home-compostable options. The project’s goal was to determine the feasibility of these alternatives and achieve key objectives in reducing plastic waste in the fashion industry.
Why Fashion for Good is working with Green Hope?
Reducing the environmental impact of packaging through shifting to renewable, bio-based plastic alternatives can mitigate issues of reliance on global oil resources, plastic waste leakage and landfill accumulation. Green Hope has created three bioplastic technologies as an alternative to conventional plastic polybags.
