Conventional products made from petroleum can sometimes be
recycled, but most of them end up going to a
landfill. Because landfills are specifically
designed to NOT allow waste to break down,
everything that goes to a landfill will take
thousands of years to decompose.
Eco-Products helps the environment by using
renewable resources that greatly reduce the amount
of waste going to landfills by creating compostable
products.
According to a study done by Penn State University,
34 percent of landfill waste is composted organic
material and 33 percent is paper. Thus, 67 percent
of total landfill waste can be easily composted and
diverted.
