WHAT IS FULLY COMPOSTABLE?

Compostable means that a product is capable of disintegrating into natural elements in a compost environment, leaving no toxicity in the soil. The certification is for commercial/industrial/municipal compostable facilities, which are places where the perfect balance of heat, moisture, and oxygen is created to break down organic and plant-based materials.

We are proud to have the entire Steeped Coffee Single-Serve Method certified compostable through ASTM D6400 and D6868 standards intended for commercially/industrial/municipal composting facilities, but our work is not done. For adequate composting facilities, please check in your local areas for availability as these do not exist in all communities.

Even though various elements of the outer Steeped Packaging are home compostable, the entire structure is solely certified for industrial compostability and has not been tested or certified for backyard home composting. Steeped also is focused on optimizing and increasing renewable materials, derived from plant-based sources, that come from the earth and return to the earth. Although we’ve made incredible progress with our Guilt-Free Packaging, Steeped will continuously work to improve all materials for renewability, compostability, material weight reductions, and supply chain localization.  Excited for all the big things ahead.
