New Feature – “The Ecoist”
Posted by Eco-Products on Sep 5th 2012
We’re pleased as punch to announce the latest feature of The Dish: The Ecoist.
Our very own Sustainability Maven will be serving up a delicious nugget of green geekery each week. If this little taste leaves you hungry for more, you can always cruise over to the Greenology and/or Training sections at EcoProducts.com for a full helping.
How long does it take our compostable products to break down?
Our compostable products break down in a commercial compost facility in fewer than 180days. Many of our products actually break down in as little as 45-60days, depending on the material type and the compost facility.
The Biodegradable Products Institute (BPI) uses scientifically based standards to determine if a product is compostable in a commercial facility, so look for the words “BPI Certified” on our products and you can be confident that your product will break down quickly in a commercial facility. Without this certification, words like “biodegradable” and “natural” are no guarantee that the product will compost.
