Today, Closed Loop Partners' Center for the Circular Economy, together with the Compostable Field Testing Program (CFTP), is thrilled to announce the launch of the CFTP’s much-anticipated data-sharing website. The new platform offers public access to critical data on compostable packaging disintegration from field tests over the last 10 years. It helps composters, policymakers, regulatory agencies, brands, packaging manufacturers, researchers and consumers evaluate the potential of and opportunities for compostable packaging, and advance the practice of field testing. The launch of the database is made possible through data donated from the Composting Consortium, managed by Closed Loop Partners’ Center for the Circular Economy. Data is from the Consortium’s groundbreaking study in 2023 which analyzed the disintegration of over 23,000 units of compostable packaging in the largest known field test of certified, food-contact compostable packaging conducted in North America.
