Spot on! SB 343 in California is encouraged by the EPA for the FTC to adopt. Plastics that cannot be recycled due to the FACT that they contain other items such as food and paper cannot have the arrows. Google SB 343 chasing the arrows to find out more.
One of the criticisms I often hear of compostables is that they can contaminate recycling. It's an interesting point, because in some ways they can, but in many ways, it's also totally irrelevant because the products compostables replace aren't getting recycled for 1 of 2 main reasons; 1. Take coffee cups and lined boards for instance, switch the PE (fossil fuel plastic) lining for a PLA (a plant-based plastic) lining and you now have a compostable cup that looks identical to a "recyclable cup". Yes, it could potentially cause contamination, but lined boards can't be recycled unless they're collected and taken to 1 of 4 specialist recyclers. So a product that can't be recycled or composted, is being replaced by a product that also can't be recycled, but CAN be composted, which in the foodservice sector is more important because of... 2. Food waste - this is actually the single biggest contaminator for recycling, NOT compostable packaging. And what is the purpose of compostable packaging? Well, it's to create a separate stream for food waste and contaminated packaging. All that dirty stained packaging that would just be burned, can be picked up and composted in the UK and returned to farmer's fields here. Recycling rates in food service are virtually non-existent, Mcdonald's incinerates all of their waste. I know of other major chains with 100% recyclable packaging that is also being entirely burnt because it cannot be recycled. So, how are compostables contaminating these streams? Put simply, they aren't, it's just the same old FUD from companies that wish to keep the status quo. Compostables are the only solution for recycling food and packaging waste and as a bonus, they make standard DMR streams cleaner and easier to recycle. If you want to actually recycle your food and packaging waste and have a circular economy, look into compostable packaging and a compost collection. It is the only solution you have as a food service provider, or you can keep with the status quo, of burning everything or dumping it abroad. https://lnkd.in/eMPFSV6A

Remember folks PFAS was not made just to pollute the waterways it was designed to provide products with grease, moisture, low friction and high and low temperature stability. Basically, made to last forever under all conditions. They only way to get rid of it is to know where it is. And that is easier said than done. Because it becomes one with water and the very product it is put into. Fiber and fabrics where it is impossible to detect by the human eye. You are best to look at an industry that has used it and assume it is there. One thing for sure is that industry knew of the product when they put it in the product.
Great to see the movie "Dark Waters" on PFAS "forever chemicals" on this list:
