[Stoves] Char

[Frank Shields]

Stover's,

Perhaps of interest, we test products for the Biodegradable Products
Institute and some are made from bagasse. When composted at low temperatures
< 45 deg C these products break down easily. But when composting
temperatures go to 70 deg C the bagasse chars and they remain as the same
structure (only darker) as the product we put in the compost. Proof that
charring is resistant to biodegradation.
