I hope this also means the end of shitty, wasteful blister/clamshell packaging. It's about time we use materials that decompose, occupy less volume, and don't damage my hands when opening them.
BTW, landfills aren't great environments for decomposition even for paper and cardboard - the weight and compression make for a hostile environment for aerobic microbes and for the larger animals (rodents, insects, worms) that usually help with the first round of decomposition and increasing the surface area available to the microbes. If you dig into a landfill, you can often find 75-year-old newspapers (made of some of the least durable materials around) completely intact.
Mid-to-late 20thC landfills are the worst of all because there's so much plastic and styrofoam, the ratio of decomposable materials is very low.
