Materials & certifications
Know what is behind the bag.
Tellure bags are made with PLA, PBAT and cornstarch and printed with water-based flexographic inks. Their certifications include BPI to ASTM D6400, TÜV OK compost HOME and TÜV OK compost INDUSTRIAL (EN 13432 / 7P1051).
Composting rules vary by location. Check whether your local collection program accepts compostable bags before placing one in a curbside organics bin; use a suitable home or industrial composting option where accepted.
