How long will they take to decompose in the compost pile?
Compostable bags decompose in approximately 90-180 days, depending on the composting environment. Industrial composting typically works faster than home composting for two main reasons:
- Home composting bins usually reach temperatures only slightly higher than the outside temperature, and this happens for short periods. In contrast, industrial composting maintains temperatures around 50°C, with peaks of 60-70°C, for several months.
- Everyday people manage home composting bins, where conditions might not always be ideal, whereas qualified personnel manage industrial composting plants, ensuring optimal conditions for faster decomposition.
