Karat Earth is our initiative to create a compostable line of products, including paper and plastic ware, developed from the idea that living green can help people save green. Our Karat Earth products are fully compostable in commercial composting facilities, and can be Converted back to Monomer and poly or composted into water, carbon dioxide, and organic materials. It is recommended to keep Karat Earth products out of direct sunlight and away from hot surfaces in storage. The Karat Earth line also offers compostable utensils, food containers, and paper hot cups, which are Cedar Grove certified.
