Compostable Sous Vide Vacuum Bags
Premium Eco-Friendly Solution for Food Storage and Sous Vide Cooking Our compostable vacuum bags are designed to combine sustainability with high performance, offering an environmentally responsible alternative to traditional plastic vacuum bags. Available in embossed and flat versions, these bags meet the diverse needs of hotel kitchens, restaurants, and in-room dining services, from safe food storage to sous vide cooking. Crafted from compostable materials, they decompose fully under composting conditions, supporting both industrial and home composting processes.
Key Features and Benefits
These vacuum bags are made from biodegradable and compostable material, free of toxic chemicals like BPA and phthalates. Certified to meet EN 13432 compostability standards, they break down naturally into CO₂, water, and biomass, leaving no harmful residues. This makes them an ideal choice for hospitality operations seeking sustainable solutions without compromising on quality.
- Heat and Cold Resistant: With a temperature range of -30°C to +100°C, our compostable vacuum bags are suitable for a wide range of applications, from freezing and chilling to heating.
- Sous Vide Cooking: Engineered to withstand sous vide cooking for up to 22 hours at 90°C, these bags retain strength and integrity, ensuring that food cooks evenly without risk of leakage or degradation. This provides chefs with a reliable, sustainable option for precision cooking that enhances flavours while maintaining nutritional quality.
- Embossed Vacuum Bags: Featuring a textured surface, these bags are specially designed for use with external vacuum sealers, enhancing air extraction and ensuring a tight, reliable seal. The embossed pattern improves vacuum performance, making it ideal for food preservation where freshness is paramount.
- Flat Vacuum Bags: With a smooth, streamlined design, flat bags are compatible with most internal vacuum sealing machines and are ideal for sous vide applications. Their simple structure allows for compact storage and efficient packaging.
- Wear and Puncture Resistance: The 75-micron thickness provides excellent durability, reducing the risk of punctures and tears during handling and cooking. This resilience makes them suitable for both short-term and long-term storage.
- Oxygen and Moisture Control: With an oxygen transmission rate (OTR) of 0.1 cm³/(㎡·24h·0.1MPa) and a water vapour transmission rate (WVTR) of 13.8 g/(㎡·24h), these bags create an effective barrier against air and moisture, helping to preserve the freshness, flavour, and quality of stored items.
We offer a variety of sizes to accommodate different food portions and cooking requirements. The bags come in convenient packs for bulk use in high-demand hospitality settings. For operational efficiency, you can order in larger quantities.
Our compostable vacuum bags support food preservation and play a significant role in reducing plastic waste. They are fully compatible with organic recycling, decomposing completely in composting environments. Whether disposed of in an industrial composting facility or a home compost setup, these bags meet stringent European compostability standards, contributing to a circular economy by turning waste into valuable resources.
These compostable vacuum bags are suitable for:
- Food Storage: Keeps produce, meats, and other perishables fresh for extended periods, making it ideal for kitchen prep and bulk storage.
- Sous Vide Cooking: Allows for high-precision cooking, locking in flavours without compromising on environmental responsibility.
- Chilling and Freezing: It is durable enough to handle low temperatures, ensuring the integrity of stored food items for extended use.
Our compostable vacuum bags provide an effective, eco-friendly solution for food storage and sous vide cooking. They combine durability, versatility, and environmental responsibility. Perfect for hospitality settings, they allow chefs and kitchen staff to deliver high-quality food while supporting sustainable practices.
