Lomi Approved™

At Pela, we are designing waste out of the human experience. We see a future where garbage is optional. To highlight products & packaging that support this vision, we offer partners the opportunity to be listed as 'Lomi Approved'. Our science team has confirmed products & packaging with the Lomi Approved mark will turn into dirt in Lomi.

How do products & packaging become Lomi Approved?

Lomi Approved is a certification for non-food compostable items, including bioplastics, that can be broken down by Lomi so they can biodegrade faster and ultimately turn into compost.

Products & packaging that are Lomi Approved:

- Physically disintegrate to a minimum threshold size after a Lomi cycle

- Disintegrate and biodegrade in a composting facility. This means they transform into CO2 and organic matter in an aerobic composting environment.

- Won’t become or release toxic chemicals that are harmful for the environment or hinder plant growth

All Lomi Approved products & packaging meet standard compost certification requirements and are proven to turn into dirt in Lomi.
