This is a good paperless and waste-free option. In some shops, you can decline a receipt. As such, Black people, and Black women, in particular, more likely to be wrongly suspected. And racial bias aside — in some shops, you can decline a receipt.
The receipt is still automatically printed — the cashier just pops it in the bin. Thanks, Anne for letting me have this interesting recycle receipts discussion!

However, the reality is that much of the UK organics recycling infrastructure is not set up to fully treat the compostable plastics that they receive and will remove it as contamination along with other plastics.
This is particularly true for food recycling which is usually taken to anaerobic digestion AD facilities which very often do not have a composting stage to allow the compostable packaging material to fully break down. If the material is thrown in general waste it is going to end up in landfill where it will not degrade as the conditions will not be met, or it will end up at an energy from waste facility where it will be incinerated into energy and bare little difference from standard plastic.
