Good to Know …

Compostable vs Biodegradable

Compostable: solid biodegradable materials that decay into a nutrient-rich, natural material under controlled conditions in a commercial composting facility utilizing controlled micro-organisms, humidity and temperature.

Biodegradable: solid materials that will degrade as a result of natural bacteria activity and will disappear into the environment over a period of time.
It is important to remember that there are varying levels of biodegradability and not all products claiming to be biodegradable will break down fully. Likewise, not all bioplastics or biodegradable and compostable products are made from renewable resources.

Make sure to check that the products you use are made from annually renewable resources and manufactured with as few emissions as possible.
