Despite their merits, these products, including wrappers and packaging, can contaminate conventional plastic waste in the recycling process. Some of these plastics, called compostable plastics, can be engineered to biodegrade under controlled conditions. Disposable plastics are everywhere: Food containers, coffee cups, plastic bags.
