Q&A About Compostable Packaging

 

What is Compostable Packaging?

• When placed in the proper composting environment it decomposes into a finished product called humus that can re-enrich soil

What is Certified Compostable Packaging?

• It has been verified by a certified testing agency to decompose within a specific amount of time into humus with minuscule amounts of toxicity or heavy metals

Are Elevate's products Compostable? Home Compostable? Certified?

• All of our products (except for a few labels where indicated) are compostable
• If composted properly, they will compost at home
• Our labels are certified in Europe and by Cedar Grove (the leading Composter in the US)
• All of the materials used to make our bags are certified compostable and we are in the process of getting the final structure certified as well

But What if People Don’t Have Access to Composting?

• That’s exactly what we are trying to solve!  By using our products you will drive your customers to demand composting!
• In the meantime, they can compost at home, use private composting services or if they live in places like Seattle, composting is already mainstream!
