I guess we just have a taste for promoting plant based zero waste…
Compostable packaging is typically made from a number of renewable plant-based materials and/or bio-polymers. To be certified home compostable, a product must break down in home compost within 180 days and 90 days in commercial composting conditions. Easily broken down in a compost, these products also tend to have chemical compounds removed from the product.
Sometimes people don’t even notice that something is actually compostable, meaning it can still end up in a grotty landfill. So if you don’t have a home compost, you can always look at local options for communal compost sites, or somewhere you can drop off items for commercial composting.
