Compostable: This term refers to items that microbes can break down at a rate consistent with other compostable materials, with the right level of heat, water, and oxygen. An important aspect of being considered compostable is that an item breaks down over a reasonable period of time (a week to several months). When composted, items should leave behind no discernible residue or toxins, and result in a nutritive soil amendment.
