Bioplastics are rolling to market fast, with biobased resin makers touting their wares as compost-facility ready.

In Part 2, Emily McGill, manager of Research and Communications for BSIbio Packaging Solutions and founding partner of the Compostable Field Testing Program, discusses limitations of lab testing on bioplastics and other “compostables.” She describes how a program to test these products in real-world facilities is working with composters; what they are learning; who they’ll be sharing the data with; and when.
