I love Colorado! This is how corporate regulation and environmental laws should work. Give the power to the people! If you see violations of the new law, residents are encouraged to report it through an online form (https://fs20.formsite.com/HMWMD/compostingcomplaint/index).

The new Colorado law requires one of these two logos to be on biodegradable products and bans any other products from using green color schemes or labels like “biodegradable” or “natural.” Many look-alike non-compostable cups and takeout containers aren’t certified as compostable by the Biodegradable Product Institute or the Compost Manufacturing Alliance.
