The problem with the corn-bioplastic is more that for HRM to compost them in their facilities they would need a different system- but they do compost, they just take a really long time in the sun (i.e. 6 months) or special composting system. So you'd need your own compost in your yard instead of HRM's organics pick-up.<BR/>I'm actually a little sketchy about what my planters will biodegrade into- I'm not sure what kind of sealants were used to keep the bamboo pulp intact. Sigh. Options are just scarce. I'll need more planters though, so I'll keep looking!Eco Yoginihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10693080137196812405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2965370542440002490.post-38858668932422650232009-03-29T15:46:00.000-03:002009-03-29T15:46:00.000-03:00are those containers really compostable? or are th...are those containers really compostable? or are they compostable like all those biodegradable plastics bags are compostable (ie. not at all)?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2965370542440002490.post-73119164723280499532009-03-27T13:28:00.000-03:002009-03-27T13:28:00.000-03:00Thanks for joining in the fun at Fight Back Friday...Thanks for joining in the fun at Fight Back Fridays today!
