Frequently Asked Questions & Compliance
Clear answers for buyers, backed by independent testing, certifications, and audits.
Materials & Sustainability
What materials are used in VNDR packaging?
VNDR packaging is manufactured using responsibly sourced paperboard and fibre-based materials combined with advanced aqueous coatings supplied by our manufacturing partner, Leetha.
FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy) analysis confirms that VNDR products contain over 99% cellulose-based paper with no conventional polyethylene (PE) lining.
Are VNDR products eco-friendly?
Yes. VNDR products are designed to significantly reduce plastic usage and support recycling and composting pathways where appropriate infrastructure exists.
Are the products compostable?
Certain VNDR products using aqueous or bio-based coatings are certified compostable under recognised international standards including ASTM, EN, and IS specifications.
EN 13432 Compostability
ASTM D6400 Compostability
IS 17088 Compostability (India)
Coatings & Food Safety
What is aqueous coating?
Aqueous coating is a water-based barrier applied to paper packaging to provide grease resistance, heat sealing, and moisture protection while reducing plastic content.
Is aqueous coating food-safe?
Yes. VNDR products comply with food contact regulations in India, the EU, and the USA. Migration and food safety testing has been conducted by CIPET, TÜV SÜD, and Eurofins.

How does aqueous coating compare to plastic or PLA coating?
Compared to conventional plastic linings, aqueous coatings significantly reduce plastic content while maintaining functional performance, as validated through material analysis and compostability testing.
Microwave & Heat Safety
Are VNDR paper cups and trays microwave safe?
Yes. Microwave exposure and resistance testing conducted by TÜV SÜD confirmed that VNDR paper cups and trays showed no melting, deformation, colour change, or electrical arcing during microwave use.
Recyclability & Repulpability
Are VNDR products recyclable?
Yes. Repulpability testing confirms that VNDR aqueous-coated paper products achieve high fibre recovery under standard recycling conditions.
Certifications & Audits
What certifications support VNDR products?
VNDR products powered by Leetha are manufactured in facilities certified under globally recognised standards for quality, food safety, and responsible sourcing.
