Over the last year, we have made some exciting eco- friendly changes to our packaging! We are proud to say every style you receive from us in the mail comes in a biodegradable bag that you can bury in your backyard!
Our biodegradable bag journey, started eight months ago in July of 2019! Home composting takes about 12- 18 months, so the bags are well on their way to fully compost and give us peace of mind knowing we are doing what we can to decrease our footprint!
Once you receive your new PV goodies, there are three ways to compost, depending on local availability:
- Curbside: If a city picks up curbside compost, they'll have specific rules for what they accept.
- Dropoff: If there’s no curbside composting option, people can check the Biocycle directory to find industrial facilities in their area.
- At home: Compostable plastics need very high heat to break down in under a year. They should break down in home bins within 12-18 months with the right combination of heat, moisture, air, and volume. Cal Recycle has a great guide to home composting.
