Not always. The best choice depends on your product and the waste route. Consider:

• Waste collection: is compostable material actually processed separately in your area?
• Product loss: does compostable packaging protect your product well enough?
• Material use: less material or recyclable mono material can be more sustainable
• Contamination: greasy or dirty packaging performs worse, regardless of material
