Valuable nutrients return back to the soil when composted

For an item to be marked compostable, there must be scientific evidence that the materials in the item break down, or become part of, usable compost in a safe and timely manner in an appropriate composting facility. Compostable items must completely break down and not release any metals or toxins into the compost, unlike biodegradable products, that can leave metal residue in their return to nature.

The ASTM D6400 specification for compostability is a pass/fail test with three parts. All three parts have to be passed for a material to meet the specification.

1. The material has to reach 60% biodegradation within 180 days.2. The residue has to have disintegrated so that the size of the remaining pieces are under a maximum threshold.3. The residue contains less than certain specified limits of heavy metals and other contaminants.

A product that meets the ASTM D6400 standard for compostability needs a facility that processes to these standards. Some facilities meet this standard, some don’t. If the composting facility ships r o landfills after only 60-90 days then t gated.

It is important to check with local composting facilities to see what standards they process to.
