A local "green" grocery store replaced its plastic hot bar containers with compostable cardboard containers.

But when I looked at the maker of those containers, and dug a bit, I discovered they used polyfluorinated alkanoates (PFAs) to keep the hot greasy liquids from soaking into the cardboard.

Compost these things and you'll get fluorinated forever chemicals in your garden.
