How do you know if a compostable plate, cup, etc really is compostable? One option is to field test it in a real commercial compost pile.
Here we show a quick run-down of a test we are doing for a group of manufacturers of compostable products. Essentially, we place mesh bags of compostable items into our piles so they can experience real-life conditions.
In our experience, items labeled at "certified compostable" do break down in our compost piles. These items may also be labeled at "ASTM D6400" - a link to those standards is here www.astm.org/d... Or, you can always check if a product is compostable by looking on the BPI (Biodegradable Products Institute) website - bpiworld.org/
