PacknWood utilizes a variety of sustainable materials, including rapidly renewable bamboo, biodegradable sugarcane (bagasse), compostable cornstarch (PLA/CPLA), wood from cultivated and replaced forests (birch, poplar, pinewood), recycled and recyclable plastic (PET), naturally fallen and regenerated palm leaves, reusable metal, and recyclable glass.

Sugarcane, a byproduct of sugar production, is 100% biodegradable and compostable, giving a useful purpose to what was once considered waste. Bamboo is the fastest-growing plant, requires minimal water and no chemicals to grow, is 100% biodegradable, and offers strength and style.

PacknWood sources wood from specially curated forests and practices systematic cultivation, ensuring that every tree used is replaced. This makes their birch, poplar, and pinewood products a renewable resource.

Many of PacknWood's products, made from materials like sugarcane and cornstarch (PLA/CPLA), are 100% biodegradable and compostable, meaning they will naturally break down into the soil. However, it's important to note that some wooden products might not be fully compostable if they contain non-compostable elements like glues or inks. Products certified with labels like "OK compost" meet European standards for industrial composting.

Compostable foodservice supplies offer sustainability by breaking down naturally, unlike traditional plastics that persist in landfills for centuries. They are often made from renewable resources, and using them can help businesses appeal to environmentally conscious customers.
