This fully compostable cup will break down in an appropriate composting facility and, while these PLA cups are not certified for home composting, our MD has been successful in composting them at home!
The materials in the cup break down or become part of, usable compost in a safe and timely manner The main difference between biodegradable and compostable is the latter breaks down into “humus,” which provides valuable nutrients to the soil.
Biodegradable products return to nature, disintegrating or disappearing completely.
This disintegration could take a week or years – another difference with compostable, where items must break down in a “timely” fashion i.e., one-to-four months.
Compostable items completely break down and do not release any metals or toxins into the compost.
