Every choice we make as consumers carries a broader meaning for our impact on the world. To choose compostables over petroleum-based products means to make lighter impacts on energy consumption, water consumption, and emission of pollution and toxins.

"Compostable" meets D6400 composting standards set by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM): Under a managed composting program, the product must 1) break down to carbon dioxide, water, inorganic compounds, and biomass at a rate similar to paper, 2) disintegrate into small pieces within 90 days, so that the original product is not visually distinguishable in the compost, and 3) leave no toxic residue.
