Home Compostability

Home Compostability is a property of biodegradable packaging materials that denotes their capacity to undergo complete biological decomposition into water, carbon dioxide, and biomass under ambient composting conditions typically found in domestic environments, distinguishing it from industrial compostability by its reliance on lower temperatures and uncontrolled, naturally variable conditions.
