Why Field Test?
Field testing has come to be understood as a vital component of vetting compostable products. This scheme helps ensure that products disintegrate as intended in various facility processes. Composters’ number 1 challenge is contamination. Field testing helps confirm that the products that facilities allow are disintegrating as intended. If they do not disintegrate, these products become part of the problem, rather than part of the solution.
