More information:
The handle of these eco-friendly floss picks is made of 100% compostable bioplastic and manufactured with starch-based resins that utilize locally sourced crops like corn, wheat, tapioca, and potatoes. Some so-called 'bio-plastics' are simply petroleum plastic with an additive that allows quicker disintegration.

This natural dental product is made of wholly compostable materials and is free of BPA, phthalates and other potentially harmful toxins.

This product meets world standards of biodegradability and compostability in Europe and the US. The resins used are certified as renewable, ecologically sound substitutes for petroleum-based plastic products. 

These compostable floss picks are durable and should last as long as the traditional petroleum plastic version. However, do not expose this product to excessive heat, as this could cause it to deform slightly.

About compostability:
In order to achieve "compostable" certification, a plastic product must decompose within 60 to 180 days in a commercial compost facility. Unlike materials designated as biodegradable, those certified as compostable are designed to compost quickly without releasing any toxic residues.

Ideally we suggest a commercial composting facility for our eco-friendly flossers however, the compostable bioplastics used will also biodegrade in your home or backyard composter, it will just take a little longer (depending upon ambient temperatures and insolation). While we don't encourage it, you can also dispose your compostable floss picks into your regular garbage - it will eventually breakdown into humus and water.
