To ensure eco-friendly disposal, please follow these steps:
- Municipal Compost: Our floss picks should be composted in an industrial composting facility, where they decompose faster under controlled conditions.
Decomposition Time
Floss Pick Handle:
- Industrial Composting: Decomposes within 3 to 6 months.
- Landfills: The decomposition rate is significantly slower in landfill environments, potentially taking several years due to anaerobic conditions.
Nylon-4 Thread:
- Industrial Composting Facilities: Nylon-4 can degrade within 6 to 12 months under optimal conditions.
- Landfills: Degradation in a landfill is slow, and it can take several years for the thread to break down significantly.
Note: The decomposition times can vary widely based on local environmental conditions and facility practices. We recommend using industrial composting for our floss picks to minimize environmental impact.
