Or if you compost is the CO2 released in the process and the total lifecycle of the forestry process better than using a waste product from the gasoline process

Fair point, I have no idea. My perception at least would be that the waste is reduced and that plastics and less environmentally ideal than papers. I figure you could also manufacture these containers primarily out of recycled papers, which wouldn’t be all that intensive, since they don’t need to be bleached, smoothed, or be structurally all that significant to hold some berries.
