Our neighborhood just switched to compostable packaging for takeout, but I noticed the bins are always filled with plastics. It's got me wondering: are compostable materials actually solving the waste crisis, or are they just making us feel better while the same amount ends up in landfills? I've read that many facilities can't process them properly, and without the right infrastructure, they break down slowly or contaminate recycling. What's the real impact if the system can't handle them?
