Can coloured newspaper be composed




Answers

 

I wouldn't recommend it, the inks can be toxic. We don't compost newspaper at all.

Hi Barbaraliz, The inks and paper can be toxic, have you thought about making logs out of paper to burn in chimenias,

The toxins have to go somewhere ....... If the paper is re-cycled the toxins are washed out in the process and the resulting liquid is treated to a standard acceptable to the environmental agencies before discharge.
