No waste! Also, I got a "travel set". They came with four pair each in its own weaved sleeve. NO plastic in the packaging at all.

I do put those in the regular trash (they are "filled" too) when on a walk. What should be done with those?

These compostable plastics are contaminants in the regular plastic recycling stream and should never be put into recycling bins. They can go into green waste bins in those cities that have them. I've tried composting one in my backyard composter, and it does seem to be breaking down.<BR/><BR/>I only bought this container as an experiment to see if it really would break down. I wouldn't do it again. They are a waste of resources as far as I'm concerned.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
