This materials are difficult to compost or problematic:

• The thick leaves or tannin-rich: (composting possible, but it must be crushed and composting is long)
• Oak,
• Chestnut,
• Wood,
• Tree,
• Walnut,
• Leaved shrubs persistent
• Conifer needles, sizes cedar or cypress (their decomposition is slow and produces a toxic acid compost for crops)
• The sizes of old branches (they contain too much carbon and decomposes very slowly, composting is possible but separately)

The impossible to compost materials (as non-biodegradable)

• The glass
• Ceramics
• The metal
• The plastic
• The synthetic fibers
• Chemicals
• Non-textile fiber derived from plant or animal matter tinted or colored with natural products
• All materials that may contain products above (dust of the house, treated plants …)
