Interesting
Hi all - This topic that Mike posted seems to come up in a lot of other discussions. From everywhere I have read the pros and cons of both sides of the biodegradable/recyclable seem compelling both ways. However, until something is done in the US to allow more types of plastics to be recycled or composted - you really can make a good call on which way will be better to go towards in the long run. So many companies already market that this product can biodegrade or this product can be recycled. Then once you bring it home you find out it has a recycling number that most cities don't take - or the fact that packaging really doesn't biodegrade in landfills. Shouldn't we be figuring out ways to open more advanced recycling facilities/compost areas? Then figure out what packaging to use???
