Perfect for food packaging.

But if they use it for straws will still somehow disintegrate after that first sip.

My 3 years old is able to finish his warm milk before that happens, and she's not even a good eater. Do you need advice from her?

Your 3yo got a sex change mid sentence. They grow up fast, enjoy time with them instead of using social media.

Why are you talking about a stranger child's sex? This is gender, not sex

[–] Railcar8095@lemmy.world -1 points 4 days ago

Ohhh, I had a typo. That means you're correct with everything!!

Only food that needs to stay packaged for less than 17 days...

I don't know if you have ever composted anything, but things do not biograde just by sitting on a shelf. The biograde in a compost pile

I've used compostable bags and they absolutely did start breaking down before I got the chance to throw them into the bin.

I've never had that problem with compostable plastic bags. I use paper bags for compostable stuff nowadays because they are cheaper

It's like Russian Roulette when using them to pick up dog shit. Although I have to say they seem to have gotten a lot better lately. Either that or my dogs just shit a lot more and I go though them faster.

Well the plaatics industry now sells plastic bags that break down into microplastics pretty fast (and are therefore by legal definition "compostable"). Just FYI, had missed that development too.. I now use doggy bags made from corn starch, they are better than the ones I used a few years ago, but I do not know if they have environmental problems, too.

All supermarket raw meat?

Grape vines are not exactly fast growing.
