I have food-waste bags that are labeled "compostable". They tend to start "composting" in my food-waste caddy, so the bags burst once they're about 36 hours old. I think they're made from cellulose.

Apart from food-waste, I have a recycling bin and a landfill bin. In general I don't recycle plastics any more. There's a bunch of different kinds of plastic, that have to be separated to be recycled, and if I can't decode the recycling label, then I really doubt there's a robot at the recycling centre separating the different kinds of plastic.

Plus: I'm constantly coming across plastic packaging that's mixed: two kinds of plastic bonded together. Those can't be recycled. And cardboard packaging bonded to plastic: that goes to landfill. Also window envelopes; I wish companies would stop using them, the whole envelope goes to landfill.

I think the theory is that I'm supposed to pick over my waste, doing my best to separate labels and caps from plastic bottles, recycle just the cardboard from mixed packaging, and inspect each piece of plastic looking for the recycling code. I'm afraid life is too short.
