Clement Packaging has developed compostable packaging solutions using bamboo as a base material. The company is a family-run company headquartered in San Francisco. Clement manufactures in-house at their facility near Shanghai and sources their bamboo, plant resins, and all other raw materials locally in Southern China to reduce carbon footprint. The company claims that the packaging material is sustainable and free of additives (such as plasticizers and hardeners). The packaging material is also compatible with liquids including water, oils, and emulsions without the need for an inner lining. (Source)
