The Truth About Plastic Recycling

Unfortunately, plastic recycling never was legitimate. You can thank Dow Chemical, Dupont, and the American Chemical Council, to name a few of those responsible for the single-use plastic clogging our eco-systems.

As Orlando’s community composter, we struggle to compost “bio-based plastic",” “corn starch-based plastic",” and “biodegradable plastic” everyday. The plastic packaging industry has put in considerable effort to greenwash consumers to make them believe this stuff is really “compostable.” It’s not, and a good rule of thumb: If it looks and feels like plastic, we can’t compost it and it’s not really compostable.

Say "no" to plastic, and go compostable

We are excited to announce that we are now selling compostable food serviceware items such as cups, plates, bowls, utensils, straws, etc. Additionally, we provide easy-to-use Kitchen Caddy bins that sit on your kitchen counter making it extremely convenient to add food scraps to while cooking. And the key to keep them yuck-free is to line them with our compostable liners!

We guarantee that our products are actually “compostable” not just “bio-degradable.”

We deliver to anyone in our service-area, with deliveries to our subscribers/clients being free. Otherwise, it’s a $5 delivery fee. Thank you for supporting community composting! Let’s turn Orlando green!
