19 Apr 2024 --- The Composting Consortium has released a new study analyzing the disintegration of over 23,000 units of compostable packaging in what it says is the largest known field test of certified, food-contact compostable packaging conducted in North America. The study shows higher disintegration rates for compostable plastics than for compostable fibers and suggests differing methods for improvement, such as brands using surface area measurements when testing their compostable products and packaging at compost facilities.
