JANUS Coated Paper Compost Trials

Welcome to our live compost trial!
Hang tight! The live stream may take a moment to appear, depending on your connection speed.

Trial 1 - Cup Stock Paper Compost Trial

Building on our previous successful lab tests with JANUS-coated paper, we are now evaluating the compostability of thicker cup stock paper under natural conditions. This trial allows us to observe and document how quickly these materials decompose over time in a real-world setting. We’re excited to share this journey with you through a live stream and time-lapse videos, bringing you along as we explore how these sustainable solutions perform.
**You can view previous time-lapse clips by selecting "Live Stream" and then choosing "Time-Lapse" to track the progress so far. Stay tuned and watch nature do its work!

TRIAL 2 - Innovative Paper Compost Trial

This trial showcases the decomposition process of sandwich paper coated with our JANUS compound.
The compost bin is filled with layers of rocks and dirt to simulate natural ground conditions and features a glass window that allows you to observe the decomposition process up close. Between the glass and the soil, we’ve placed sheets of sandwich paper, each with unique specifications detailed on our webpage for easy identification.
To mimic natural conditions, the setup includes a timed irrigation system that waters the bin twice a day for 15 minutes. Additionally, we’ve planted seeds on the surface, allowing you to watch roots grow and interact with the composting environment over time. This trial will run for several months, providing valuable insights into how our paper performs under real-world conditions. Tune in to explore how innovation meets nature in our mission for a sustainable future!
Compost Trial 2 Description and Watering Setup

Compost Bin: L36” x W16" D26” (50" Tall)
Glass Viewing Area: 26 ½" x 18 ½"
Base: 30" x 36"
Lighting: Supplemental LED Light

We’re running seven drip heads at a flow rate of 2 gallons per hour. Four drip heads cover the four sample rows, ensuring water flows both in front of and behind the samples. Three additional drip heads in the middle and rear distribute moisture evenly throughout the bin.


Originally, water was applied every 12 hours for 15 minutes at around 1:15 AM/PM. As of February 4th, we adjusted the schedule to water every 8 hours for 30 minutes for the next 15 days.
