Compostable
Compostable products and packaging are capable of breaking down completely in a composting environment, leaving no toxic residue or microplastics. These items are certified by third-party organizations, such as the Biodegradable Products Institute, to ensure they meet high standards of environmental safety. Composting can only occur under specific conditions, and consumers and businesses must dispose of compostable materials in designated composting facilities for them to effectively break down.
