Storing Compost for Future Use
Having too much compost every year is a problem for me- this video has several suggestions for how to best store your leftovers.
Is this worth composting at home?
Save this stuff for sustained high temperature large scale composting operations… if they will accept it.
I’m going back and forth on whether or not I want to try composting this at home. Pulling out bioplastic fragments of skeletons at best doesn’t sound that appealing.
Is this paper tray compostable? In what setting?
“Compostable in Limited Municipal Composting Facilities”
…what does this mean?
My first guess is that this paperboard tray has a thin liner of bioplastic?
If it has a layer of bioplastic embedded in it, I don’t want it in my compost pile (almost certainly why it says “municipal composting facilities”).
Products like this should just say “DON’T COMPOST AT HOME” to make it totally clear.
Sustained high temperatures are required to potentially break down bioplastics, and I don’t recommend trying it unless you have AT LEAST a cubic yard sized compost pile.
I decided to check out the website printed on the label to see if there was more specific information about the compostability about the product, but it’s somewhat unclear.
Here’s a clue: “Window film that meets ASTM and BPI standards for composting”.
I have a few minutes and I’m curious- time to drop them a line to see what they’re getting at.
Stay tuned 🙂
