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.


But unless it‘s clearly marked as such, you can‘t really assume it. FWIW
I‘ve never seen anything labelled on food packaging as starch based
”cellophane•.

"made from potato starch" was on the last one received here. But
cellophane should be recyclable - it is made of cellulose - hence its name.
