    Paper coffee cups.

    Composting is controversial too. There is an Australian standard but I don’t know what it says about the PFAS.

      If I’m not mistaken, I believe the reason those shouldn’t be recycled or composted is due to the wax lining inside to make it water tight.

      If I am mistaken, anyone please let me know.

        Bad news: it isn’t wax (wax melts). It’s either plastic (hdpe?) or most of the compostable ones use fluorinated “forever chemicals”
