What is the interior? What comes into contact with the composting organic products? Plastic? Polyethylene? Steel?

I agree with the previous reply that the material is like Styrofoam. Its purpose is insulation - to keep contents warm. So far, it seems to hold up and not disintegrate.S.D.

The white material (pictured) lines the inside of tumbler and is in contact w the compost. I'm not sure what it's called but it's like thick styrofoam but more flexible. It could be polyethylene foam but I don't know that for a fact. Seems as though you could contact the manufacturer for a definitive answer.

Plastic. Don't know the kind of plastic (discarded now). Just know I was disappointed with the honey inside.

its a heavy plastic sheet with air vents in it and it comes with stakes to weave through the holes and poke into the ground. I overlapped the plastic and it is still a huge area to put compost into and then weaved the posts in to secure it. It has held up so far no problems. simple to deal with uncomplicated. I would say the diameter that I made is 2.5 feet it will take awhile for me to fill it up to the top It is about a filled with about a foot of compost now. the more that goes in it compacts and the unit gets more stable. I Am pleased with it for the price it is worth it.

I have a 20gallon plastic tote that I use for my composting. I added in a little dirt to start it, added in worms and now add paper and old fruits/veggies as the worms eat it. I have had it going for a year now and it has been great for my plants!

Plastic. But, it is the special non-toxic variety that does not leach any of its properties into your food. I love this thing!

The inside of the lid is plastic. The rest of the inside is stainless steel.

Plastic. Not too messy. Static causes some finer granules to stick so I tap it over the sink.

Pellets, look like they are compressed wood shavings. Break down really quickly in composter.

Well if that's what the material is, then yes, there is no plastic inside other then the piece on the bottom. That was part of my issues, the veggies tasted terrible IMO, but that was also because there was no drainage so all the veggies were sitting in a pool of water.

The interior is metal. We use the disposable small aluminum loaf pans inside of it to warm the food. We buy those at Walmart for a reasonable price.

It appears to be composting just fine. My bin is full from veggie scraps all winter and froze a little but appears to be heating up again. I plan to order another one so one can be filling as the other gets done. I expect the process will go quicker in the summer. I like these bins. Sturdy and simple. Mine also smells a little, which I thought was natural, but apparently my ratio between "green & brown" is off.

Food grade plastic. Don't think you'll have any issues there. Have dried multiple fruits and veggies and haven't noticed anything that would make me wary of them.

I don't know much about plastics, but this seems to be a pretty heavy plastic and very sturdy. I've only had it a few months, but it definitely has "cooked" and I recently set up another open compost and transferred the compost to the open one, so I could start all over again. The compost that I moved was full of worms and entirely broken down. I'm very excited about using it this spring!

The outer cover is organic cotton. I can't remember what the inside is, and I'm not at home right now to check, but there was no smell at all when I opened the package. Not even a hint of chemically smell. I was very pleased with this purchase, and still am after using the mattress for six months now. I recommend.

The actual inside of this food warmer is a lite metal/steel like, but the compartment to put your food in is plastic.
