Compost or Not

Can I Compost Granola bars?

Yes

Granola bars can be composted.

What to Know

  • Granola bars are generally compostable, but they break down slowly due to their processed nature
  • They contain a mix of ingredients, including grains, nuts, and sometimes chocolate or dried fruit, which can all be composted

Tips

  • Break or crumble the granola bars into smaller pieces to speed up decomposition
  • Be aware that any packaging should be removed before composting
  • If the bars contain a lot of sugary or fatty ingredients, add them in moderation to avoid attracting pests
