Do compostable products break down when put into the soil, water, left outside, or stored on shelves?
• Our compostable products are made from sugarcane and PLA, both of which break down best in commercial compost facilities. Soil and water are relatively cold environments that do not allow PLA or sugarcane to become biodegradable and break down. Retail shelves similarly do not provide an environment with the right composting conditions for these products to break down, so they maintains their integrity until they interact with composting microorganisms.
