My experiment

Added these compostable spoons and straws to my bin when I filled it on Jan 25th. (Left pic)

I tried this about 8 years ago with a compostable yogurt spoon. Three years later they looked perfectly useable so compostability was debatable. LOL

Flash forward to April 01 (right pic). These composted much faster. 66 days and the spoon is brittle and crumbly in the hand. The straw was almost entirely gone. It will all disappear forever on the next mix. Glad to see they are getting better at compostable plastics.

And I know, I know, microplastics. 🤦🏻
