OVO FAQs
How does The OVO Circle- the loyalty program work?

Then, as part of our OVO GROVE loyalty program, every $75 you spend plants another tree, growing your personal forest of positive change.
Are OVO pads biodegradable?
OVO pads are industrially compostable* according to the EN 13432:2000 standard. It means the material is designed to break down into compost within the specific conditions and timeframe of a large-scale, commercial composting facility. These facilities use controlled temperatures, humidity, and aeration to accelerate the composting process, which differs from home composting.
The EN 13432 standard, a European standard, describes the requirements for packaging that can be recovered by composting and biodegradation, and provides a test scheme and evaluation criteria for the final acceptance of the packaging. Although biodegradable materials can return to nature and disappear completely, they sometimes leave residue behind. Industrially compostable* materials, on the other hand, make a nutrient-packed product called humus, which is great for plants. In short, these products are biodegradable, but there is an added benefit.” See source:

How much of OVO products are made of bamboo?
Each OVO pad is made using a plant-based top sheet and absorbent layers that include bamboo fibers, chosen for their softness, breathability, and natural antibacterial properties. While not 100% bamboo, every layer is thoughtfully engineered to stay plastic-free, biobased, and industrially compostable* according to EN 13432 standards.
