Public wants Government to back compostable packaging over recycling
date:Oct 13, 2021
ut plastics recycling is not a silver bullet solution. Difficult-to-recycle plastics such as films used to package consumer goods including bread, fresh produce and clothing deliveries are often viewed as uneconomical to recycle, and any plastic contaminated with food is taken out of the recycling waste stream.

Compostable materials can be used to substitute plastic films to reduce their environmental impact. The material has to be certified to breakdown within a specific timeframe.
