Mats are made of 100% carbon-based materials and therefore break down easily. In a simple composting test conducted by AURI, 2 samples of Compost-A-Mat, measuring 8 inches by 12 inches were composted into a compost pile with an internal temperature of 170° Fahrenheit. Within a matter of two weeks, the product had broken down and would no longer stay in tact with handling.
