Vexar® Compostable Netting is a unique packaging material specially designed to be good for produce and the environment. Certified to ASTM D6400 and EN 13432 for compostable thermoplastics, Vexar® Compostable Netting also has a High Product-to-Package Ratio – making it an ideal choice for companies concerned about sustainability.

Conwed was the first to commercialize compostable netting for produce applications. Now with new Vexar® Compostable Netting, they have broadened the number of applications to include Header Bags for citrus, potatoes and avocados and Rope Mesh bags for onions and even non-food products such as toys.

Vexar® Compostable Netting combines strength, durability, and breathability all in a single environmentally-friendly material. The mesh netting is made from a unique blend of resins that is soft yet strong, gently conforming around delicate fruits and vegetables, while keeping produce fresh by allowing it to breath.

It is easy to integrate the use of Vexar® Compostable Netting into any produce packaging operation because it requires no changes to existing packing equipment or processes. It’s also surprisingly affordable – costing less than other compostable netting options and less than many packaging alternatives.

“Today’s growers, packers and retailers care about doing what's right for the product and the planet,” says Brad Budde, Packaging Business Manager at Conwed. “Vexar® Compostable Netting is the one packaging solution that makes sense environmentally and economically.”
