why can't I compost your tea temples in my garden?Updated a year ago

Our tea temples are fully derived from plants (corn starch!) so they are fully biodegradable and compostable, but they require a higher level of heat, water, oxygen and micro-organisms to fully break down than your home compost can provide. So it’s best to put them in your council food waste collection bin for industrial composting where they will be broken down into natural elements within 12 weeks.

If you're unsure of what your local council can recycle then pop your postcode in here.
