Compostable Card Product Guide
Compostable Card
TÜV CERTIFIED
Paper-based engineered board made with compostable materials designed to replace plastic in applications requiring durability and moisture resistance. Monadnock’s Compostable Card is moisture resistant, made with 100% post-consumer recycled fiber (PCRF), and certified TÜV OK Home Compost.
Manufactured using 100% PCRF and FDA food-contact-compliant materials, Compostable Card delivers stability across temperature and humidity variations common in packaging, card, and component applications. Its engineered structure behaves similarly to plastic in use—providing reliable handling and performance without compromising sustainability goals.
Certified TÜV OK Home Compost, Compostable Card is verified to safely decompose in home composting environments when properly disposed of. Fully recyclable in appropriate paper recovery streams, it offers multiple responsible end-of-life pathways. The platform supports a broad range of applications—from bread closures and security wrap carriers to paper gift cards, loyalty cards, and select signage—opening the door for continued innovation in fiber-based alternatives to plastic.
