What happens if StalkMarket products wind up in a landfill? Will they still biodegrade?
Many municipalities are now sorting garbage after it is collected and several do employ commercial composters for the “wet waste stream.” Our products break down extremely quickly in commercial composters. Even if our products end up in a landfill, they will still break down provided air and moisture are present, though the process may take significantly longer and greatly depends on how the landfill operates. Of course, StalkMarket recommends that businesses and consumers take an active role in managing their own waste in an earth-friendly way. The process of commercial composting and home composting has come a long way in the past few decades and effective composting units are readily available. Furthermore, it is important for businesses and consumers to hold local governments accountable to how waste is handled in your area and help be an agent of change in areas where poor practices are still in place. Everyone needs to be a part of the solution. Click here to learn more about com
