But why don’t we see more compostable products being used today?
Many people have concerns about unpredictable or incomplete breakdown of compostable products. If these products don’t breakdown properly, they won’t be helping the soils, but harming them. Organizations like the Biodegradable Products Institute (BPI) are supporting research to make sure that when products are certified compostable they truly break down the way they are supposed to.
Regenerative Waste Labs does research and testing to provide technical information and educational resources to show that compostable products can play a role in achieving sustainable production and consumption! We just need to understand the details of how these products work.
