Here's a video[0] compilation from a worker in an animal feed processing plant where they grind up waste from restaurants and grocery stores, but don't completely remove all the plastic wrapping from the food. So large amounts of plastic gets fed to pigs. Shocking that this is allowed to happen

- hinkley 5y agoIf you live in a town that does city composting, you're going to find a lot of vegetable stickers in your 'finished' compost, and it's small enough that it gets through their sifters, so it will probably go through yours too. Some of those stickers are really hard to get off as well, and more of my compostables end up in the garbage bin than I would like. I really want someone to petition the USDA or FDA or whoever is in charge of this to require that produce be labelled only with biodegradable stickers. I think that would go a long way to answering your concerns as well.
