End of Life
Industrial Composting
Our sugarcane tableware range is certified compostable to the AS 4736 and ASTM D6400 standards for industrial composting, which requires the compostable product to:
1) disintegrate after 12 weeks, and
2) completely biodegrade after six months. (This means that 90% or more of the material will have been converted to CO2. The remaining share is converted into water and biomass – i.e. valuable compost.)
Home Composting
Our sugarcane tableware range is certified compostable to the AS 5810 standards for home composting, which requires a product to:
1) 100% biodegrade into completely non-toxic by-products, and
2) disintegrate within 180 days. Not more than 10% of the original dry weight may be found in a > 2mm screen fraction
3) ultimate biodegradability (90% absolute biodegradation, or 90% with a suitable reference substrate within 12 months.)
