I compost card but am finding these days more card has a plastic
film layer which doesn't compost. There also seems to be a lot of
waxed card which is somewhat waterproof and takes a long time to
break down in a compost heap.


Yes, annoying. Higgidy pies still have plastic windows that can be
pulled off and recycled with bread bags etc (where possible) leaving
the cardboard to be recycled as normal. They even have the instructions
on the box !.

What appears to be un-recyclable cellophane is being increasingly made
from starch - and can be recycled.

All supermarket sandwich containers now seem to be made of cardboard
with a polythene film laminated all over it, like takeaway coffee
cups, so cannot be recycled in most places.

I should have added 'in your own garden compost bin'. The council might
not realise it's compostable if you put it in your garden waste bin.
