Anyone know what to do with all these? Maybe compost? I don’t ship much glass like I used to. Maybe I drive them back to my supplier… 🤔

I can’t drink from our well. I have some concerns. I might drive them back. I’m going to research more about their composition. Thanks!

Like, maybe they also contain microplastics? if 100% cornstarch then fine to melt into existing water waste stream? I stopped up the sink and let them melt overnight so didn't need that much water. Will be watching for your update! Also paging @patwater who has much muni water experience!

I’m on a rural well and I do a 7stage filter on the water currently, if I run out of spring water. Our groundwater is already compromised quite a bit here. 😬

Ah got it, adding a mess of melted cornstarch could have unknown effects Perplexity is all in on their safety though, including composting: https://www.perplexity.ai/search/5b50bbf0-605b-49f2-9f23-22d5e8ec9f79 I’d be interested in any links you find with the contrary view since we all know “consensus” doesn’t mean “right” :/

I’ve got a MSDS sheet here. Pretty straight forward. Also a packing blog. I think I’m going to go with my gut and find someone that can reuse. Or drive them back to the company. I usually pick up my raw materials but have a busy week ahead. https://www.freestylephoto.com/static/pdf/msds/starchtechpackingpeanuts/EcoSystem-Packaging-Solution-MSDS.pdf https://www.theboxery.com/blog/how-to-dispose-of-biodegradable-packing-peanuts/

hmmm the link also says totes safe to dissolve on location so you’re prob making extra work for yourself but it’s a free country (used to be at least lol) :)
