What means compostable?

Short Answer

Compostable means a product breaks down — via oxygen, moisture, and microbes — into CO2, water, and biomass, usually within ~90 days under managed conditions, leaving no toxic residue (EN 13432 / ASTM D6400). Natural wood and bamboo tableware are compostable by nature.

How It Works

1

Collect
Organic waste stream.

2

Condition
Heat, oxygen, moisture.

3

Decompose
~90 days by microbes.

4

Return
Soil gets nutrients.

Why It Matters

  • Meets EU/US plastic regulations.
  • Guarantees a defined breakdown timeline.
  • Gives your brand a verifiable eco story.
