The tech stuff: Commercial Compostable (to AS4736) plastic needs to meet certain conditions for it to biodegrade in a commercial compost facility or the microbes cannot survive and the plastic item won’t be broken down. Another limitation is that these types of plastics are not intended for recycling. BioGone does not use commercial compostable plastics. BioGone supplies quality products that fully decompose in landfills or home composts. Some customers have tested BioGone products in their commercial compost and have had great results.
Disposal:
- We do not recommend putting cat/ dog poop in a standard home compost bin.
- Recommend checking with your local council if your kerbside green waste bin accepts cat and dog waste (most councils don’t).
- Recommend disposing of pet waste in a home pet poop compost (if you have one) or general rubbish bin (landfill).
