FAQs.What does compostable mean?Composting is the process of breaking down organic wasteby microbial digestion to create compost. Compost has manybeneficial uses including improving and fertilizing soil. To gothrough a composting process, organic waste requires the rightlevel of heat, water, and oxygen. In a pile of organic waste,there are millions of tiny microbes that consume the waste,transforming the organic materials into compost.Castaway ® compostable products completely decompose in acomposting setting in a specific time frame, leaving no harmfulresidues behind.What is the required amount of time forcompostable packaging to completely breakdown?Castaway ® home compostable packaging solutions naturallybreak down in compostable conditions within 180 days.What is the difference betweenbiodegradable and compostable?All compostable materials are biodegradable but not allbiodegradable materials are compostable.Biodegradation is a biological process in which materials aremetabolized into CO2, water and biomass, with the help ofmicroorganisms.Compostability describes material that biodegrades withina time frame of 180 days under composting conditions— high humidity, high temperature and the presence ofmicroorganisms and bacteria.The key difference between compostable and biodegradable isthe timescales. Compostable means that the product will breakdown within 25 weeks, whereas biodegradable product couldtake much longer (between 90 days and 5 years). Additionally,biodegradable materials may include toxins and heavy metals.Why is sustainable packaging soimportant?Traditional plastic food and beverage packaging is derived fromoil (the world’s scarcest and non-renewable resource), and is asignificant source of landfill waste.Traditional plastic does not biodegrade, it just sits andaccumulates in landfills, and is regularly eaten by numerousmarine and land animals.Castaway ® compostable range is mostly derived from rapidlyrenewable plant resources such as birchwood and sugar cane.Manufacturing food packaging from plants is a sustainablealternative when compared to oil-based food packaging.
