A product is compostable if it is able to break down within a specific period of time while being processed in a properly managed compost facility. Our compostable products are certified by either the Biodegradable Products Institute (BPI), the Composters Manufacturing Alliance (CMA), or TUV. Certified compostable products are tested to meet ASTM standards to break down within 180 days in a commercial compost facility. These products will not break down in the same manner in a landfill or other environment. Commercial and municipal compost facilities are not available in all areas.
To find out more about the process, visit our composting resources page. Looking to find the nearest commercial composter to you? Head to our Find A Composter page.
PFAS, or Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, are additives used in some products to help resist oil and water. While most of our products are made without added PFAS, some of our molded fiber products are still produced with PFAS. Currently, New York, Washington, and California prohibit the shipment of items made with added PFAS to those states. If you are a resident of one of those states, and you order one or more of these items, we will put your order on hold and we will contact you to help you find a suitable, approved replacement product. We understand that this will cause frustration and inconvenience, however, we are committed to abiding by these regulations.
Most of our products are made without added PFAS. Those products can be found here:

Single-use plastics and foam products are used throughout the food service industry, as well as in other businesses and homes. Most single-use plastic and foam products are made from petroleum feedstocks, which is a non-renewable resource. In addition, most single-use plastics end up in landfills. The products that we offer help to reduce our reliance on single-use plastics, and help to reduce the amount of single-use items sent to landfills, by allowing certain products to be composted or recycled.
Our compostable products are better for the environment because they are sourced from annually renewable resources such as sugarcane bagasse, corn, or wheat straw, and they can be composted in a commercial compost facility, where they will break down within 180 days. These facilities may not be available in all areas.
Our recycled products are better for the environment because they are made from recycled materials, which helps reduce the amount of new raw materials required to make the products. In addition, recyclable PET plastic and uncoated paper are easily recycled and accepted by most curbside recycling programs, where available.
Our plant-based products are better for the environment because they are made with plant-based materials, not petroleum-based plastic. These include sugarcane bagasse, corn, and wheat straw. The plants can be harvested and re-grown annually.
