Replace it with Compostables 

You might be here because it’s Earth Month and you want to learn more about how to make a positive impact. You might also be here because you’re confused by all the green, eco-friendly, sustainable messaging out there today. Good news—we’re here to help!

In today’s world, where environmental concerns are louder than ever, we must focus on solutions that address our concerns and pave the way for a sustainable future. That’s why we’re big fans of compostable products at Repurpose—a realm where innovation meets possibility. Compostable products represent a pivotal shift in how we think about what we use every day, from the plates we eat on to the bags we throw away. 

At Repurpose, we believe in a world where eco-friendly choices are a seamless part of your daily life. Our products are designed for those who don’t just care about the environment but demand convenience and reliability too. Here’s why we believe in compostable products as a solution to a greener future, free of oil-based single-use plastics. 

Lowering Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Compostable products are not just about the end of their life cycle; they bring environmental benefits from the beginning. Depending on the material, they are produced with significantly less energy and water; these items typically showcase a lower carbon footprint than their conventional counterparts. This reduction in resource use is crucial in our collective effort to combat climate change. 

Certified Non-Toxic

The certification process for compostable products is rigorous, with a strong emphasis on non-toxicity. This means that items certified as compostable must be free from harmful chemicals, including PFAS (forever chemicals), often found in traditional consumer goods. Opting for compostable products ensures that we're reducing our environmental impact and safeguarding our health and the ecosystem from toxic substances.

Designed to Break Down Faster

Certified compostable products are designed to break down faster than conventional plastics and paper goods, even in less-than-ideal conditions. While commercial composting facilities expedite this process, compostable items will still degrade faster than traditional materials in natural environments. By choosing compostables, we can significantly reduce the potential for long-term pollution and the accumulation of waste in our landfills and oceans, marking a critical step towards reducing our collective footprint.

One Step, Meal, Wipe, at a Time…

Every small decision and use of a compostable item contributes to a much larger movement towards sustainability. These choices are within reach, offering a simple yet profound way to care for our planet. We encourage you to embrace these eco-conscious decisions in your daily life and share this knowledge with friends and family. Together, piece by piece, we can build a greener future.
