*PHA is consumed by a wide variety of microorganisms in nature, including in soils and oceans around the world. The speed of biodegradation in the natural environment is variable and depends on a variety of factors such as the product’s form factor as well as temperature, humidity, and microbial load.

*Both home and industrial composting present optimized environments in which Cove’s biodegradation will accelerate. In the unlikely event that a Cove bottle will fail to fully biodegrade by the end of a composting process.

*There are zero toxic compounds nor microplastics contained within PHA, nor do they result from the molecular breakdown of PHA. In fact, PHA is biocompatible and bioresorbable, and the human body naturally produces PHA as part of a healthy microbiome.
