Teabags Wrapped in Compostable Film

NatureFlex NM is a cellulose-based film, manufactured from renewable wood pulp and metallized in-house. According to Innovia Films, it is the only metallized biodegradable film suitable for home composting because the level of metal is so small—less than 0.02 percent—which slows the film’s degradation by a matter of days but does not interfere with its biodegradability in any other way. Modified coatings ensure excellent metal laydown and adhesion providing a very high moisture barrier with a transmission rate of less than 10 g/m²/day (38degC, 90 percent RH). It is this high barrier that keeps Twinings Everyday teabags in premium condition.
