They almost all are compostable these days, even sometimes wooden or paper. But the composting is irrelevant when the volume is enough to overwhelm the best compost heaps.

Reuse trumps recycling trumps biodegradability. But it apparently costs too much to wash normal metal utensils...

To be honest I feel like "compostable" is the next version of the little recycling symbols on plastic containers: technically true, but mostly impractical to the point of being pointless, but a way of kicking the can of true progress down the road.
