Compostar: Heal Their Home, From Your Home—Australia’s Go-To for Compostable Living
Every time you reach for a bin liner or a waste bag at home, you’re making a choice that touches Australia’s wild spaces—from the Great Barrier Reef to the eucalyptus forests where koalas roam. At Compostar, born from Guarden’s decades-long mission of “Waste Done Right,” we’re turning those small daily choices into big hope for our planet. We don’t just sell compostable products; we’re building a movement to protect Australia’s unique ecosystems, one home, one garden, one furry friend at a time.
Why Compostable Isn’t Just a Trend—It’s a Necessity for Our Wildlife
Traditional plastic haunts Australia’s nature for centuries. It breaks down into microplastics that seep into soil, poison ocean life, and even end up in the food we eat. For our iconic species—like platypuses in freshwater streams or penguins along the coast—plastic waste isn’t just an annoyance; it’s a threat to their survival.
Our compostable solutions are designed to fix that. Made from 100% plant-based materials (think corn starch and natural polymers), they don’t linger. Under composting conditions, they break down completely in as little as 90 days—compared to 200–1000 years for regular plastic—turning into harmless carbon dioxide and water, no toxic residues left behind.
And we don’t just say we’re eco-friendly—we prove it. Every Compostar product meets Australia’s strictest standards:
- AS 4736 for commercial composting (backed by ABAP Certificates 10606 and 10607)
- AS 5810 for home composting (verified with ABAP Certificates 20458 and 20459)
You can check our credentials anytime on the Australasian Bioplastics Association’s website—transparency is part of our promise to you and the planet.
