The present disclosure provides a home compostable
extrusion coated substrate comprising a
paperboard substrate having at least a first side and a layer of
extrusion coating applied over at least a portion of the first side. The
extrusion coating is comprised of from about 30 to about 99.5 weight percent of at least one poly(hydroxyalkanoate) and from about 5 weight percent to about 69.5 weight percent of at least one compostable
polymer selected from the group consisting of poly(
lactic acid), poly(
caprolactone), poly(
ethylene sebicate), poly(butylene succinate), poly(butylene succinate-co-
adipate), poly(butylene
adipate terephthalate), and mixtures thereof. Preferably, according to the present disclosure, the extrusion coated substrate is also home compostable as determined by ASTM D6868.
