Thank you very much for your question.
I think you're absolutely right. Basically, I think, we don't have Canadians who have any sort of identification system to be able to tell the difference right now between industrially compostable, home-compostable and regular traditional plastics. That's why people for the most part are messing up some of the recycling streams: They're throwing products that are industrially compostable into recycling streams. It's not working, because you can't recycle them in the same way.
I think what we need to do is to support the Canadian companies that are developing the non-petroleum-based home-compostable plastics. Support their R and D and offer them some subsidies so they can actually lead in this arena and start producing those products and make them more available. They are currently available in Canada, but again, they're often wrongly conflated with regular bioplastics or conventional plastics.
Yes, I agree with you. There needs to be an identification system so that people know. It might be just on the product itself: “Hi. You can put this literally with your worms in the backyard and it will biodegrade into biomass.”
