This session will examine the widely used mesh-bag method for field testing compostability, addressing concerns about its accuracy compared to real-world composting conditions. Multi-year data on moisture, temperature, and microbial communities inside and outside mesh bags, evaluating statistical significance and reproducibility are presented. The discussion will also compare mesh-bag and bagless methods, highlighting their challenges and proposing further research for improving field testing reliability.
