Garbage disposal varies from place to place. If you work within an area that has an industrial composting system you can dispose of our products that way. We suggest setting up a compostable bin beside the trash bin at your tattoo station.
If your garbage disposal ships to a landfill only then you can still throw our products away with the trash and they will decompose naturally once exposed to light, air and other elements but at a slower rate then if they go to a facility.
Some of our products are certified under a simulated landfill test. ( ASTM D5526-12 / ASTM D5511) This test  method covers the determination of the degree and rate of anaerobic biodegradation of plastic materials in an accelerated-landfill test environment. In other words, this test determines how bioplastics degrade in conditions without light and oxygen and are mixed with household waste and plastic waste for the purpose of creating the most similar conditions to a landfill as possible. This is an important test to us because it shows that testing specifically in a landfill environment has been considered.
Some of our products are certified home compostable meaning they don't require the specific heat and moisture conditions of an industrial composting facility to break down. They break down in under a year (around 9 months) . We've also thrown those in the test pile at home, dug them up every couple of months and watched their degradation in conditions where sunlight and little oxygen are present. Because most municipalities don't have the proper composting in place we don't want to bring in products that don't stand a chance at decomposing in a landfill.
