Subway wrappers, subway bags and Subway fountain cups are recyclable! Remember to check all of your everyday items to see if they have the recycle symbol! You might be surprised! Some companies are also creating products that are biodegradable or even compostable, it will say on the item just as an item would have a recycle symbol. And if you arn't sure on a product, Google it!
Biodegradation is the process by which organic substances are broken down by other living organisms. The term is often used in relation to ecology, waste management, environmental remediation (bioremediation) and to plastic materials, due to their long life span.
Compostable items are made from plant materials such as corn, potato, cellulose, soy and sugar.

Compostable means that you can take the product and put it in your home compost or garden and expect that it will break down in a reasonable time frame. For instance, Innovia's NatureFlex compostable film should breakdown in your garden in less than 3 weeks.

If recyclable why it doesn't have the symbol?
