CREATING A CLEANER WORLD THROUGH COMPOSTING





LEARN MORE ABOUT THE HOW2COMPOST LABEL:

 

The How2Compost label informs consumers of a product’s compostability. We
partner with the Biodegradable Products Institute (BPI) to ensure every item we
label is certified compostable at industrial facilities.

 

 




OUR MISSION IS TO TAKE THE GUESS WORK OUT OF COMPOSTING




WHAT CAN I COMPOST?

 

Our How2Compost label only goes on packages or products that have been certified
compostable in an industrial facility by the Biodegradable Products Institute
(BPI). 

BPI is the leading third-party verification for compostable products in North
America. The program is specifically for industrial compostability and does not
verify items for backyard compostability. The test standards that BPI certifies
are specific to industrial environments.

WHERE CAN I COMPOST IT?

 

Check with your city to see if organic recycling is a service in your area. 

The How2Compost label meets the criteria to break down in an industrial
composting system. These facilities take large volumes of organic materials and
carefully monitor nutrient, oxygen, moisture, and temperature levels to produce
a high-quality compost product. The How2Compost label does NOT indicate a
package’s ability to break down in home compost. While some certified
industrially compostable products can break down in home compost conditions,
many require conditions only achievable through industrial compost methods.

To learn more about home compost, visit the EPA website.
