◾ Composted bioplastics cannot contain any heavy metals and finished compost must support plant life
◾ The product must be bio-assimilated by microorganisms (biodegradation) found in water, soil, etc. at the same rate that leaves, paper and other organic materials biodegrade in their natural environment. 180 days or less. Within a six month timeframe.
