   Thank you for saying "compostable", btw. The term "biodegradable" is too wide a term that includes materials that won't be composted or digested very quickly or at all in nature.

      FWIW, I can't take credit for the word choice, I'm just passing on what I heard. I haven't even checked myself the claims that the cutlery was compostable. as for the biodegradable plastic bags from supermarkets, I usually prefer carton boxes for my groceries, but I have noticed that the plastic of those bags all but disappear over 5+ years. I occasionally take and use them, mostly in trash cans, but also as "files" for piles of mail that I'm supposed to save for 5+ years, and I notice that the more recent ones, labeled sugar-cane biodegradable, haven't held up for 5+ years any more
