OUR PACKAGING
Built for the Outdoors. Designed for the Planet.
Our packaging is a core part of our mission—not a marketing afterthought.
We use lab-tested, genuinely sustainable materials and proudly package our meals in what we believe are the most sustainable hot-water safe pouches on the market.

Hey, you got us there!
Omnidegradable® packaging is a non-PLA, shelf stable, and food safe material engineered to break down completely in real-world environments. Through an organic additive blended into the resin during manufacturing, the plastic is designed to react with microbes (in soil or water) to create an enzyme that breaks down the plastic that is then consumed by the microbes— ultimately breaking down into water, carbon dioxide, and small amount of organic biomass, all beneficial to plant growth. In short: it’s durable hot water safe packaging designed to return to nature, not stick around forever.
That gap between certification standards and real-world disposal is where greenwashing happens. We believe landfill performance matters, because landfills are where most packaging actually ends up—and sustainability claims should be backed by real testing and real-world performance, not fine print.
THE DIRT...
In 2025, only 49 of the over 4,700 U.S. composting facilities accepted compostable plastic packaging.
When packaging ends up in landfills or oceans, it is there for 200-500+ years, slowing breaking down into microplastics
Designed to actually break down. Returns to organic matter in approximately 13.5 months under landfill conditions.
HOW TO DISPOSE OF YOUR OMNIDEGRADABLE MEAL POUCH
Bury it in your home compost and let microbes do their thing. Decomposition time will vary based on moisture, heat, and microbial activity—but yes, it will break down.
PLEASE DO NOT BURY YOUR TRASH IN NATURE. What you pack in should ALWAYS be packed right back out.
Our pouches are made with a 3.0 mil BioFoil that has been lab-tested to biodegrade under anaerobic landfill conditions in approximately 13.5 months. This is a huge difference from PLA and many other “compostable” plastics, which typically do not break down in landfills and can persist for decades.
Most municipal compost facilities require an 8–12 week processing timeline. Our packaging (and almost all other ‘compostable plastics’ may take longer to fully break down, depending on facility conditions, and may not be accepted—so be sure to check with your local facility before composting here.
