Aqueous Range
Product Information
decent packaging's Aqueous Range is made from responsibly sourced paper and lined with a unique water-based barrier coating. An advancement into new technology, this unique water-based barrier coating is certified industrially compostable to European standards (EN13432), passed the home compostable test, including the Earthworm test.
Our aqueous range is made only using responsibly managed or recycled paper. All the ingredients are natural without any PE and PLA, and can be composted in nature.
Aqueous Lining
Our aqueous lining uses a water-based dispersion system of polymers and additives to create a barrier, making it a home compostable solution.
Home Compostable
This product has achieved the Home Compostable standard which demonstrates that it will break down fully in an ambient home compost environment, within 12 months. (TÜV Austria Belgium OK Compost Home, DIN CERTO)
Commercially Compostable
This product has achieved this international standard which uses tests to determine if bioplastics products will compost satisfactorily in commercial facilities. (ASTM D6400, ASTM D6868)
What is the best end-of-life solutions for aqueous lined products?
As the name suggests, the aqueous coating used is water-based and breaks down without any specialist treatments required, making them industrially compostable. These cups will also be certified home compostable, and, under the correct conditions will breakdown.
Aqueous Range
Why are we offering aqueous lining as another option to PLA in the UK?
We are always pushing for the most sustainable solution to offer our customers and believe the water based lining is a step towards simplifying sustainability.
Will we be able to create custom branded Aqueous Lined products?
Yes, compared with PE and PLA coated paper, the frictional force is larger. Aqueous products are a little sticky and they are not as easy to separate, and also can not be printed with ordinary inks, which can cause colour fading. We’ve run samples of this product with excellent results.
Can the aqueous lining be heated?
Yes, our Aqueous Hot Cups are perfect for hot beverages, and can be directly heated in a microwave oven. Same applies for our Aqueous Cutlery - although this shouldn’t need any heating!
