The cups are not compostable. That doesn’t mean the material can’t be recycled. As explained in the post, making the claim that a material is “compostable” requires adherence to strict scientific guidelines.

Hey, Erin! Here in Sweden, we actually have a law saying that we cannot claim stuff that we can’t backup. So watch out…

Don’t you just hate that when companies claim something that is not otherwise? And to get caught? Is there a law against making claims that are not true?
