How to Compost our PHA Joint Tubes
1. Remove any labels from your PHA packaging. While our labels are paper and also biodegradable, removing all stickers will prevent inks and glues from getting into your compost.
2. Add your PHA packaging to your compost pile. PHA packaging can be added to your compost pile along with other organic materials, such as food scraps, yard waste, and paper.
3. Turn your compost pile regularly. Turning your compost pile helps to aerate the material and speeds up the composting process.
4. Check your compost pile for signs of decomposition. PHA packaging will break down into compost in 14-18 months.
5. Once your PHA packaging has composted, you can use it to fertilize your plants.
Be patient!
It takes time for PHA packaging to break down.
By following these steps, you can help to reduce the amount of plastic pollution in our environment.
What are compostable PHA BioPlastics?
PHA (polyhydroxyalkanoates) is a bioplastic that is made from renewable resources such as corn starch, sugar cane, or vegetable oil. It can be composted in a home compost pile.
It is biodegradable, which means that it can be broken down by microorganisms into water and carbon dioxide. This makes it a more sustainable alternative to traditional plastics, which can take hundreds of years to break down in the environment.
