Chosen theme: Biodegradable Decor Choices. Welcome to a home page devoted to stylish, earth-kind decor that breaks down gracefully, leaves lighter footprints, and inspires everyday creativity you can actually feel good about.

Why Biodegradable Decor Choices Matter

Biodegradable items eventually break down by microorganisms, but timeframes vary widely. Compostable items are designed to decompose into non-toxic components under specific conditions, often meeting standards like ASTM D6400 or EN 13432.
