Descripción de Choosing Compostable Plastics for Your Program: Standards, Labelling & Testing Protocols

This episode corresponds to Lesson 5 and Lesson 6 of our online course. In this episode we navigate the complex and sometimes confusing world of compostable plastics, addressing the current issues and main questions on this topic. What is compostable as opposed to biodegradable, and why does it matter? What standards and testing protocols exist for compostable plastics and are they in line with what composters are experiencing on the ground? What are the pressing issues that composters have in dealing with these plastics, and how can we improve compostable plastic labelling in order to safeguard against contamination of other plastics? We pose these questions to our two guests: Chair of the Working Group on Biological Treatment of Waste at the International Solid Waste Association and member of the Italian Compost Association (CIC), Marco Ricci (Italy), and waste diversion expert Hilary Near (California, USA). Thanks to Biolice for making this episode possible. The compostable resin from maize grain, made by Limagrain, a farmer cooperative.
