Home compostable products break down in backyard compost systems under ambient conditions (20-30°C). Our bamboo products meet the AS 5810-2010 standard for home compostability, ensuring 90% disintegration within 12 months and complete biodegradation into carbon dioxide, water, and biomass without toxic residues. This process occurs in a typical home compost bin, requiring only organic waste, air, and moisture. Unlike industrial composting, home composting doesn’t need high temperatures or specialized equipment, making it ideal for households aiming to reduce landfill waste. The AS 5810-2010 standard also verifies that no microplastics or harmful chemicals remain, ensuring soil safety. Decomposition speed depends on factors like climate, compost turning frequency, and material thickness, but our bamboo products are designed to break down efficiently in these natural conditions, supporting sustainable waste management.

Biodegradable products break down naturally through microbial action, but timelines and conditions vary widely. Unlike compostability, biodegradability doesn’t guarantee complete decomposition or non-toxic byproducts. Our bamboo products exceed ASTM D6868 standards, breaking down into natural elements without microplastics, unlike some plastics that persist for centuries. The OECD 301 guidelines highlight that many “biodegradable” plastics require specific conditions to decompose fully, often leaving residues. Our bamboo, sourced sustainably, biodegrades in soil or water, supporting ecosystems. However, without controlled composting, biodegradation can take years, with rates depending on environmental factors like temperature and microbial activity. By choosing our products, you avoid the 500+ year decomposition timeline of traditional plastics, per NOAA estimates, and promote a cleaner planet.
