Do the new compostable straws that look and feel like plastic straws actually reduce waste?
My question is would get filtered out at the compost facility as they require heat to break down. That heat is part of the composting process but do they get sorted before that point? How is the new compostable plastic like stuff distinguished from the plastic stuff
