Tell me more about the compostable packaging of the Moltex OKO nappy.

The composatable packaging is manufactured with renewable raw materials (Maize Starch). It can be disposed of through modern rubbish disposal bio waste bins.  The packaging can also be put on the compost heap at home. Prerequisites for smooth degradation for any material to decompose in good compost conditions are: heat, humidity and oxygen.

As a rule degradation should be complete over 6  - 8 weeks. However under less optimum conditions this could take longer, especially during winter.
