A small step but a vital one in Mule Bars direction to have all their products in compostable wrappers by the Spring of 2014. We are not suggesting in anyway that it is ok to drop our wrappers while outdoors. Our stance is firm. Eat your bar, put it in your home compost & feel good. Mule Bar explains this small but important detail further: Compostable bar info Our new wrapper is made from wood pulp which is a renewable resource. (All food wrappers for the 2012 London Olympics had to be made from compostable material). Our wrappers are made by a company called Nature Flex Where does the wood pulp come from? All the wood pulp used in the manufacture of Nature Flex films originates from non-genetically modified sources; & is sourced from four referenced suppliers whose operations have been certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC), or a regional environmental body. Is the wood pulp FSC certified? Two of the suppliers are certified to FSC, one is partially certified to PEFC (and is steadily increasing the area of forestry under certification) & one is actively working towards FSC accreditation.

- home or Industrial. In the sea
- Roughly same as home composting What conditions are required for biodegradation to occur? Heat, water & oxygen are required by micro-organisms for efficient & effective biodegradation. Biodegradable plastics are metabolised by micro-organisms which transform the bioplastic product into carbon dioxide, water & biomass. What is the difference between the terms biodegradable & compostable? A biodegradable plastic will break down under the action of naturally occurring micro-organisms (e.g. bacteria, fungi or algae), but has no specific time frame & no requirement for not leaving a toxic residue. A compostable plastic is plastic that undergoes degradation by biological processes during composting to yield carbon dioxide, water, inorganic compounds & biomass, at a rate consistent with o
