The compost is hot! Frequently Asked Questions

 

How long does it take for our compostable packaging to decompose?

Food scraps and compostable packaging are decomposed according to different time frames. Generally speaking, how long it takes for something to decompose depends on several factors, such as the type of material, what composting method is used, and the climatic conditions (environment) to ensure high-quality compost. Most of our compostable packages have passed the industrial composting standards and will be decomposed in industrial composting facilities within the standard time frame (within 9-12 weeks at most), where the perfect balance of temperature, oxygen and moisture are effectively monitored.

In addition, on-site composting can be an exciting opportunity to dispose of your used Hyde compostable packaging.

We are happy to let you get in touch with our partners.

 

Contact your local waste management agency and ask about disposal methods available in your area. There may be curbside collection options or local delivery locations that can process certified compostable packaging. Unfortunately, in the presence of composting infrastructure, compostable packaging is still not always accepted. As a result, compostable packaging is not widely available, and commercial/industrial composting infrastructure is still in its infancy in terms of availability, clarity, and feasibility.
