Before purchasing, be sure to note the capacity of your local composting facility. All BPI products will break down in municipal or commercial composing facilities. However, some BPI certified compostable products require high temperatures to decompose. Therefore, those are not suitable for a typical home composting bin.
It is important to remember when purchasing biodegradable or compostable products; they must be disposed of properly. They will not break down in landfills; even food waste does not decompose in a landfill. This summer make your picnic zero-waste by using BPI certified plates, cups, and cutlery!
