END-OF-LIFE REALITY CHECK

Choose a pathway. See only what evidence supports.

End-of-life reality check

A pathway is only credible when its conditions are known.

Review what each pathway requires and where finished-product evidence is still missing.

Not verified

Industrial composting

No complete-garment industrial-compostability claim is approved for publication.

Required conditions
A product-specific standard, full construction test and accepting commercial facility would be required.
Current limitation
Availability and acceptance vary by facility; used PPE may not be accepted.

Conditions determine the pathway

Industrial composting, home composting, landfill and recycling are not interchangeable outcomes. Availability depends on contamination, collection systems, local rules and processing infrastructure.

Where no verified pathway exists, the page says so directly.
