Another problem with bio- degradable compostable stand-up pouches are, it is very difficult to certify them. Certification is a long process and in 3-6 months all has to be composted. Stand-up pouches are thicker films and the zipper on them makes them even more thicker which makes it almost impossible to get a compostable – bio degradable stand-up pouch certified. The likely scenario for the future is, the municipalities will only collect the compostable pouches if they are with certification logo and keep them in the right temperature and humidity. The rest will sit in the black bin and will be in landfills of burned.
