Are you tossing your old underwear in the trash?

Then, don't.

Check the label; if your underwear is made of biodegradable fabric, you can dispose of it in compost and it is super easy plus eco-friendly.

Composting is a great option to help reduce waste and nourish your garden. Learn how to compost them with these simple steps for an eco-friendly disposal option.

Here's your step-by-step guide:

Check the Label:

Before composting your biodegradable underwear, check the label to ensure it's made from natural, biodegradable materials like bamboo, hemp, beechwood modal or cotton. Avoid underwear made from synthetic materials, as they won't break down in the compost pile. Stay assured if you want to dispose of our underwear, as the fabric we use is micro modal and is obtained sustainably from beechwood trees; the fabric is completely biodegradable and so is compostable.

Remove the Part You cannot Repurpose

Underwear is made up of several elements other than fabric. In our case, the waistband we use is not biodegradable; we’re working on fixing this aspect, but till then, detach the waistband when taking the underwear to compost.

Cut into Small Pieces:

Cut your biodegradable underwear into small pieces before adding them to the compost pile to speed up the decomposition process. This will help them break down faster and ensure they're evenly distributed throughout the pile.

Add to Compost Pile:

Add the cut-up underwear to your compost pile or bin and other compostable materials like food scraps and yard waste. Make sure to mix everything well to promote even decomposition.

Monitor the Compost:

Composting can take a few weeks to several months, depending on the temperature and moisture levels. Monitor your compost pile regularly and keep it moist by watering it when necessary. Turning the pile occasionally can also help speed up the decomposition process.

Usiung the Compost:

Once your compost has become nutrient-rich soil, it's ready for use in your garden. Spread it around your plants and watch them thrive!

Composting your biodegradable underwear is a great way to reduce waste and support a healthier planet. By following these simple steps and choosing natural, biodegradable materials, you can turn your old underwear into valuable compost that can help nourish your garden. Plus, you'll do your part to reduce waste and protect the environment.
