Compostability is the degradation by biological processes to yield CO2, water, inorganic compounds and biomass, at a rate consistent with other known compostable materials, and leave no visible, distinguishable or toxic residue behind. Compostable plastic products must meet international standards for degradation, sustainable plant growth, and ecotoxicity in compost environments.

Mirel resins meet the important industry standards of ASTM D6400 and EN 13432 for compostable polymers. 

Composting saves money by helping to reduce solid waste. The Biodegradable Plastics Institute (BPI) reports that food scraps from special events and institutions typically contain disposable plastic cutlery and straws that are impossible to economically separate. By replacing ordinary plastics with biodegradable plastics, the entire waste stream can be composted rather than sent to a landfill.
