In my area, one of our grocery chains has "Compostable Bags" which they package the "Pickup / Delivery" orders in.
My area also mandates municipal composting so the discussion of "But is it _really_ compostable" is moot.

- lxgr 2y agoAnything that ends up either in a landfill or in the environment (fwiw landfills are usually part of the environment, but that's a different discussion) is something that doesn't get to amortize production costs over several uses, so arguably both are best to be avoided, if at all possible.
- zeeveener 2y agoYes I can attest to how quickly they start breaking down even just sitting in the container for about a week. Almost need a scheduled reminder to replace it no matter how full it is.
