These seem like reasonable issues, and very similar to the problems brought on by plastic bags.
I haven't seen the data on their end of life, how long they take to decompose, if anywhere other than the City of Calgary allows them to be put into a green bin. But if it is going to cause the issues identified, then yeah, they should be part of the ban.

You would have to think that the people who run composting facilities for a living are pretty sure of what their job entails. That's where the data is found, and has apparently been sent to the federal level, but was rejected for another set of data that hasn't been released? It would probably be easier on everyone if the government just showed their work as opposed to releasing conclusions, only.
