I like it that there’s at least two fast food salad spots in my part of town that have the compostable salad bowls- I definitely recommend going with that over crappy plastic.
I guess the next question is what’s holding them back from ditching the plastic top, too? I know it’s cheaper than the paper, but that would be a heck of a statement and much smarter for them.
However, I can’t say that I trust these places to actually compost the bowls when it’s front-of-house disposal… I rip up my bowl and compost it in the backyard with everything else.
Since paper can be tough, make sure you rip it up into pieces to speed up the decomposition a bit.
I’ll take 30 seconds to do that instead of put a plastic bowl and/or lid in the recycling can where it most likely won’t get recycled.
