How CompostaPouch Works
CompostaPouch is made from sustainably sourced materials, including cellulose from wood pulp, and non-GMO corn starch for the biopolymer. These pouches will decompose within 26 weeks in ambient conditions, provided the compost heap is regularly turned to encourage microbial bacteria. To start decomposing, the pouches require:
Live plant matter | Dead plant matter | Water | Air
In these composting conditions, bacteria and fungi produce enzymes that digest the cellulose and corn starch, converting them into water, carbon dioxide and nutrient-rich organic matter. This natural biological process allows the pouch to return to the environment without leaving behind the persistent microplastics associated with traditional petroleum-based plastics.
How to Dispose of CompostaPouch
Empty the Pouch
Remove any leftover product from the pouch.
Add to Compost
Place the pouch in your home compost heap or take it to your local composting centre. Regularly turning your compost heap will help speed up the process.
