Recyclable10

• The Attorney General claims that a plastics company's statements that its microbial additive results in the "first truly biodegradable and recyclable" plastic bottle and that the bottle will break down in less than five years in a typical landfill or compost environment is false because it takes hundreds of years for plastics to biodegrade. (insideprivacy.com)
