It’s a no from me. It just seems to be screaming “greenwashing”.
You’re expecting a tiny benefit (the teaspoonful of compost you would get out of this stuff fully decomposing) and risking making things noticeably worse by introducing a load of kinda-natural-ish substances that are designed to kill germs in your house but will also very likely kill microorganisms in your pile.

I did a google search, and the answer seems to be it is not compostable. Apparently thr surfactants can negatively impact your compost pile.

I don’t compost clean paper towels. They are SO bleached, and many have a little bit of plastic fiber embedded in them.
Composting something that already has cleaning solution is crazy/counterproductive.

That cleaner looks fine to me (I just mean in general, I don’t know if it’s really ok for composting or not). Just as an aside, you can make your own cleaner that’s just as effective with citric acid powder and water. It’s like 1 tbsp per cup of water and it works very well

Hydrogen peroxide breaks down to oxygen and water, a process that is accelerated when in contact with dirt, organic matter, or when exposed to sunlight. Anything made similarly would be safe to compost in my opinion.
