Question 1

If I can’t compost this product, it will end up in the landfill, so what is the purpose? I need to be able to put them with my recycle

Accepted Answer

No, this item is not "backyard" compostable. Do NOT toss it into your personal compost, it's not designed for that. These are rated as "commercially compostable", that is that can be broken down in municipal facility that has the proper technology in place. Sadly, very few communities have access to this as most compost facilities don't have the capability: "Currently, only a few hundred of the roughly 4,000 composting facilities in the U.S. have the ability to accept food scraps and a much smaller subset can accept bio-plastics." So for the great majority of users these would go in your trash bin. There is a decent summary written up here: Eater, "The Dark Side of ‘Compostable’ Take-Out Containers", Jan, 15, 2020.

Question 2

does this item have a logo in the middle or is it the solid color?

Accepted Answer

These are premium quality Compostable Plates. The image with the stamp is for illustration purposes only to bring out the message of “Eco Friendly Living”.

Question 4

Are the deminsions taken from the flat serface on the inside or over all lip to lip?

Accepted Answer

For the 9" and 7" that I just received, the dimensions are from edge to edge, including the entire plate, not just the flat inner part.
