Compostable Products
Compostable products are materials that can break down naturally into organic matter under the right conditions, typically in a composting environment. This process enriches the soil and reduces waste in landfills. Unlike regular plastics, which can take hundreds of years to decompose, compostable items—such as certain biodegradable plastics, food waste, and paper products—decompose within weeks to months. For something to be labeled as compostable, it should meet specific standards for breaking down into non-toxic, nutrient-rich compost, supporting both environmental sustainability and soil health.
