Compostable Poly Bag Material?

[Cory Smith]

Hi All,
We have a magazine that mails out to about 10,000 subscribers in the United States. We currently poly bag (via machine) each magazine before mailing. Some of our subscribers don't like that it comes in a poly bag. Does anyone here have/use poly bag material that is compostable or more eco friendly? It would need to be machinable and approved by the USPS. Our current mailer is saying nothing like that exists.

It may not make any environmental difference: https://beta.theglobeandmail.com/re...e4316356/?ref=http://www.theglobeandmail.com&

It's probably best to look for a bag that is made from vegetable material rather than a bag that's biodegradeable.

I would have guessed that Hustler magazine would have had a higher circulation rate.

From the USPS RIBBS site, look at Berry Plastics Corp "biodegradable polywrap". There may be others on that list, I stopped at Berry Plastics........

Yes, it looks like there are many manufacturers of USPS approved biodegradable polywrap
