The first essential factor is the determination of the necessary oxygen level in the pouch. Some products need a high level of oxygen in the bag to keep them fresh for a longer duration. And some require the minute presence of O2.

So, the level of oxygen must be maintained inside the pouch product to product.

The next challenge that the packed item faces are the environmental factors which include UV, moisture, and atmospheric gases. These factors involve the quick spoilage of food.

To keep the product safe for human consumption, barrier layers of protective material are used in these bags. It is a plus point of using Biodegradable Kraft paper stand-up pouches that there will be no harm to your packed item from environmental factors.

The process will begin with the shrinkage and crumpling of the bags and then the bag will start degrading organically. The organic lysis of the bag leads to the production of 2 basic products of this reaction CO2 and H20.

The best part is that there is no chance of production of any harmful gas that can intoxicate the environment leading to smog production or the greenhouse effect.

According to European standards, the biodegradable stuff must degrade in 12 weeks. And the kraft paper stand-up bags degrade in 6 weeks on average if the conditions are optimum.
