Compostability

Written on August 23rd , 2023 by Laura Weller

To check the compostability of the material I did 2 things:

  1. I burried samples of the material in the ground.
  2. I created 2 worm hotels and put the materials in there

1. Burry the materials

I burried the material samples in the ground for 6 months and then digging it up. Here you can see the process of me burrying the materials: Week-11c

2. Create 2 worm hotels

To check the compostability of the material I created 2 worm hotels. This I did through these websites:

  • https://www.asr.nl/blog/diy-wormenhotel-maken
  • https://wormenkwekerijwasse.nl/product/compostwormen-mix/?gclid=CjwKCAjwysipBhBXEiwApJOcuzApNDcAYMWMuAgKGoL1XUfY4cP_UrfPN3OiUCcqkMu06qbLAz5zzBoCEnMQAvD_BwE
  • https://www.auer-packaging.com/nl/nl/Euroboxen-gesloten/EG-6427-HG.html?color=7001

I added the material onto the worm hotels and let it sit for 2 months, 4 months and 6 months. See below the proces + results.
