To be officially called home compostable the material needs to compost with in 26 weeks or less and because ours is between 27-36 weeks due to the extra layer of cellulose that is keeping them fresher for longer we can’t now use this term on our packs, but they can be used for home composting.

If you don’t have a food compost bin, the packets can go into a normal waste bin as they will decompose in landfill. Alternatively you can cut the packets up into 3-4 pieces (to help it break down quicker) and put into a soil bed.
