WHAT ARE COMPOSTABLE CUPS?

Compostable cups should be something you can take to your backyard compost pit without thinking twice. They shouldn’t stress you. They are like food waste or the falling leaves on your home compound.

Given the right amount of air, water, and nitrogen, your backyard compost bin can break down waste fast. It can breakdown leaves, cardboard, hay, food waste, paper, sawdust, but not plastic.

In essence, all the items with the tag “compostable” should end in your garden as manure. Meaning, you could enjoy some fresh veggies or fruits from the dumped coffee cup months later.
