I just threw one of those into my compost pile last month and it’s still there. No clue how long it’s supposed to take.

Compostable plastics don't compost if you just throw them in a compost heap, you need to compost them in high-temperature conditions.

Well that is disappointing. I feel like that should be specified on the bag instead of alleging it is generally compostable like a brown paper bag.
