Frequently Asked Questions

Not all municipalities accept compostable plastics in green bin programs. For example, cities like Toronto and Ottawa do not currently allow compostable bags in green bins, even if certified. Please check with your local waste authority before disposal.

Our compostable products are certified by various organizations, including the Biodegradable Products Institute (BPI) and the Composting Council of Canada. These certifications ensure that our products meet strict compostability standards.

Compostable bags are designed to break down into natural, non-toxic components in a composting environment, while biodegradable bags may not decompose fully or safely. Oxo-degradable plastics contain additives that promote degradation but can leave harmful microplastics behind.

Use green bin only if your municipality accepts compostable plastics. If not accepted, dispose in regular waste—still better than traditional plastic. Never place in the recycling bin (blue bin).

Our compostable products are made from plant-based PLA and PBAT—safe, renewable, and fully compostable.
