BOZEMAN, Mont. – Lot G Cafe packages its takeout food in compostable containers, made from plant products and sold by a local distributor, Eco Montana. It’s just the right thing to do, said owner Serena Rundberg, who also owns several other Bozeman restaurants.
But while those containers aren’t plastic, they still won’t break down entirely in a landfill as opposed to a commercial compost facility.
“All of our takeout containers, hot and cold cups, they’re all made with bio-based materials,” said Rundberg. “So we’ve seen just a lot of that compostable to-go ware is going home with people, and we don’t know, from there, where it goes.”
