Holm says garments made Coffee Nutcracker Family Matching Funny Pajama Christmas T-Shirt . from certified organic cotton or linen that are untreated, unbleached and undyed, then sewn with organic threads, are the only textiles that can safely go in your compost bin. To be sure this is the case, she says: “You might have had to make the garment yourself.” You can also keep an eye out for certifications such as the Global Organic Textile Standard but even this is not a guarantee. One thing that will make it easier to know which garments can and can’t go in the compost will be an Australian standard for compostable textiles, something Devine has been working on for a few years (the first of its kind globally). Until the approved testing protocol for textiles composting is out and peer approved, and garments are certified to the new standard, there is no guarantee, she says.

Even if you are confident Coffee Nutcracker Family Matching Funny Pajama Christmas T-Shirt . an item is plastic and chemical free, it is still best to cut up a garment before composting it. Holm says this is “so the compost doesn’t struggle with the huge mass”. Generally, the smaller the pieces, the quicker it will decompose. If you’re worried about the threads used to sew a garment, you can also cut away any seams and dispose of them separately. If you want to compost a pair of shorts or a shirt, you will also need to remove any hardware including zips, buttons, or hook and eyes. It’s also important to cut out any tags, elastics, binding and fusing. If you’re confident your clothing can be composted, a worm farm might be the safest place to dispose of it as the worms act like a filter system, separating organic matter (which they eat) from plastics or things coated in chemicals. Devine says worms tend to have high standards, “and whatever they choose not to eat, should not [have been] added to your compost”. Although it might sound like a fun experiment to see if worms will eat the cotton in your underwear but not the elastane, it’s still best to heed the rules of composting: organic inputs only.
