Compostable Products and Composting

Composting is a natural process that turns organic matter into conditioners for the soil. As a source of organic matter, compost has the unique ability to improve the chemical, physical and biological properties of soils.

Compostable Products and Composting

Compost is produced by the activity of aerobic microorganisms that require oxygen. These microbes need oxygen, moisture and nutrients to grow and multiply. When these factors are at optimal levels, the natural weathering process is greatly accelerated. Microbes generate heat, water vapor and carbon dioxide as they convert raw materials into a stable soil conditioner.

Compost products are obtained from many raw materials such as leaves, fertilizers, food residues, wet and dirty paper and certified compostable products. Relevant legal regulations are enacted to ensure that only safe and environmentally friendly composts are marketed.

Everything that is compostable is biodegradable, while not everything that is biodegradable is compostable. Many things are biodegradable. Because the expression biodegradable does not have a time frame. If a certain material eventually degrades, it can be described as biodegradable. Compostable has a time frame defined by each composter and its specific operational requirements. In general, most composters want the material entering their facility to degrade in less than 80 days.

According to data from the American Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Americans composted 2015 percent of all waste produced in 9. In EPA data, composted material is grouped into two main groups: garden fallen leaves, cut grass and the like, and foodstuffs. 35 percent of approximately 61 million tons of garden debris and close to 40 percent of more than 6 million tons of food scraps are composted.
