H&M says you can compost its new line of baby clothes

H&M is coming out with a new line of baby clothes that can be recycled in an unexpected way once they’re worn out — composting.

The 12-piece organic cotton collection for newborns launches in May and includes tops, bottoms with adjustable waistbands and cuffs, jackets, hats and blankets. Abigail Kammerzell, H&M's US head of sustainability, said all items are 100% biodegradable, including the pigments used to print designs on the clothing. She said the pieces are also deliberately absent of buttons or any metal trim.

That figure currently stands at 80%, according to the company.
