Certified home compostable to AS 5810-2010

For a product to be certified home compostable, it needs to have been proven to break down in a home compost without any negative effects to microorganisms or worms, and break down into plant matter. A product that is home compostable is a fantastic choice – it reduces landfill waste and contributes to a circular economy.
