Your cover is made from certified home-compostable materials, designed to gently return to the earth—no industrial facility needed.
How to Compost Your Cover (Home Compost Bin or Backyard Pile)
Remove your iPad and stylus
(No need to remove the built-in charging area—it composts too.)
Tear in smaller pieces
Cutting the cover into smaller pieces (2–3 in/5–7 cm) helps it break down faster.
Place directly into your home compost
Works in:
Backyard compost piles
Home compost bins
Worm bins (it’s worm-safe)
Mix into the “brown” layer
This material behaves like a thick paper/pulp product. Pair with dry leaves, shredded cardboard, or other browns.
Keep your compost moist & turned
Moisture = breakdown. Aeration = faster composting
Breakdown timeline
Typical home compost: 3–6 months
Cooler climates: up to 9–12 months
(Just like other natural, plant-based materials.)
Your packaging was intentionally designed to leave the lightest possible footprint.
Paper Packaging (Outer Sleeve, Insert Cards, Labels)
100% curbside recyclable
Put in your paper recycling bin
Compostable Mailer (If applicable)
Certified home-compostable
Remove any non-compostable tape before composting
Compost whole or tear into pieces for faster breakdown
Tape & Stickers
If using paper-based or compostable stickers: compost or recycle
If a tiny amount of synthetic tape is used: remove and put in trash
