Home compostable packaging test in a wormery

Paper we are all familiar with, but home compostable packaging may be new to you. These super sustainable materials may look like conventional plastic - but once disposed of, they properly biodegrade (breaking down not into microplastics, but into carbon dioxide, water vapour and organic matter, just like a plant decomposing) within one year. They break down like this even in low temperatures, such as your home compost heap.

Very nice time-lapse 👍🏻

Our own experience with it has been excellent. Stir the compost everytime you visit and add carbon in the form of paper/cardboard and it just disappears in no time :)

The linked info is great, thanks! The Guardian has a new article about “compostable” plastics & this info complements it perfectly!

This stuff is great. I wonder - does any other company produce home compostable packaging like this? Riverford should sell this technology to others!
