BAR-U-EAT

BAR-U-EAT was the first energy bar company worldwide to use BPI-certified compostable packaging. They’re based in Colorado and making wrappers that actually break down instead of sitting in landfills forever.

Compostable Packaging

The wrappers are made from plant-based materials - FSC Certified wood from sustainably managed forests and corn-based components. They meet ASTM D6400 standards and break down in industrial composting facilities within 6 months.

What Makes It Work:

• BPI-certified compostable (first bar company to do this)
• FSC Certified materials from sustainably managed forests
• Corn-based renewable components
• ASTM D6400 compliant
• Breaks down in 6 months at industrial facilities

The Bars

BAR-U-EAT makes energy bars with clean ingredients. Nothing weird, just real food wrapped in packaging that won’t outlive you.

Why They Stand Out:

1. World’s first compostable bar wrapper
2. BPI certification (third-party verified, not just marketing)
3. Clean ingredients, no weird additives
4. Made in USA
5. Sustainable from ingredients to disposal

The Waste Problem

Energy bars generate over 2 billion non-recyclable wrappers every year in the US. That’s a lot of trash. BAR-U-EAT’s compostable packaging is one solution that actually works.

What You Get:

• 100% compostable wrapper that breaks down completely
• Zero plastic waste, no microplastics
• Renewable materials throughout
• Lower carbon footprint

How to Compost

These wrappers need industrial composting facilities. Check if your local composting program accepts BPI-certified packaging before tossing them in.
