Oh I didnt know these bags/sachets are recyclable. The ones I saw have been mixed material packaging and not easily recyclable (only if dropped by in special recycling places, not around everyweher) Are the compostable bags compostable in compost facilities or only home composting? I live in germany and any compostable plastic is not allowed (yet) in the official compost bins as they dont break down quick enough…. It is a real hussle to find real sustainable packaging, as so much is called biodegradable or compostable but not all of them actually are.. and nobody really knows where you can actually put them into the recycling/compost bins or not… it is so different from town to town and country to country even worse…

We haven’t heard of Food For the Sole before, but it looks like they are making some great meals. We’ll have to give them a try and add them to this list.

Yes! We are planning on doing a big update to this article in the coming months. So we will make sure to freshen up the list.

Eva, unfortunately, we have very limited knowledge of the availability of dehydrated products within the EU. We are planning on updating this article soon, so we will make sure we do a little research on that end.

Harmony House is great resource of dehydrated food. Outdoor Herbivore and Nuts.com are also great places to look as well.

Thanks! We glad you’ve found the website to be a useful resource! It’s just the two of us working on it, so sometimes it’s hard to cover every angle. We appreciate the support.

That’s fantastic. We are always trying to find new ways to reduce our single-use containers when possible. We’re not always great about it, but it’s a practice we are continually working on. A lot of the mylar bags that these foods come in are either recyclable or even compostable. We’d really like to do a deeper dive into zero or near-zero waste practices for camping and backpacking.
