In landfills, where oxygen is limited, cornstarch tableware may not decompose properly and can behave similarly to conventional plastics , Cornstarch compostability.
Look for certifications like OK Compost, BPI Certified Compostable, or EN 13432 to confirm industrial compostability and environmental compliance — Cornstarch compostability.
