What does Compostable mean?
:an item can break down into natural, non-toxic elements in a compost environment without harming the environment.
What is the difference between composting and recycling?
The main difference between composting and recycling is the type of material they process:
-
CompostingInvolves breaking down organic matter, like food scraps, leaves, and grass, to create nutrient-rich compost. Composting can improve soil health, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and conserve water.
-
RecyclingInvolves breaking down non-organic materials, like paper, glass, and plastics, to create new products. Recycling can conserve natural resources and reduce landfill waste.
Here are some other differences between composting and recycling:
- Process: Composting is a natural process that happens over time, while recycling involves separating and processing materials.
- Benefits: Recycling extends the life of raw materials, while composting doesn't.
- Contamination: Composting non-organic materials can contaminate soil and waterways.
- Materials to avoid recycling: Soiled paper, like a pizza box with grease, can taint an entire batch of recycling.
- Materials to compost: White glue, dried pasta, and masking tape can be composted.
- Cardboard: Cardboard can be recycled about seven times, but can also be downcycled into other materials that can be composted.
