So I would get these bags, then use them for garbage. Now I have to buy non-compostable bags for garbage. It's the usual poorly thought out legislation we've come to expect.
Bags intended for the landfill won't break down either way, since landfills are designed not to breakdown the contents. You should be using the bags for composting
i have a compost bin for my condo unit, and I am super active with it. I tossed in a normal plastic bag the compostable ones are replacing as well as a coop compostable one, at the same time. Think that was around feb-mar of this year, the coop one is 90% gone and cant really tell where the parts are. Old school one is still very much there, but in tatters. I'll take pics in the next few days and post them here if anyone is interested.
while i can see it being a hazard for some critters for a little while, especially when just discarded, its not a bad idea. imo its way better than what we currently use and I dont know why the feds are so against it. at least its a step in the right direction
