KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken) chose compostable bags manufactured by Cardia Bioplastics to replace plastic bags, which were banned by the South Australian Government in May 2009.
KFC selected Cardia’s Compostable bags following the completion of comprehensive in store trials. The bags meet Australian compostable plastics standard AS 4736 and are manufactured into finished compostable bags by Cardia using Cardia’s patented Compostable resin.
The product development process with KFC was collaborative. The KFC team had well researched specific requirements. The bags were hot food tested extensively at the Cardia Bioplastics Global Applications Development Center in Melbourne and in KFC stores. Working closely with the KFC team, Cardia completed product development and trial stages quickly and smoothly.
