Yes, but the operating word is "can". In reality 99.99% of them go into the landfill, including the ones sent to the recycling facility for PR reasons.

That name... oh god, they're reading the thread! All it needs is to be organic and cold-pressed double-filtered gas and they've got BINGO.

so i guess WeFuel, Yoshi, Booster, GasNinjas, FuelMe, MobileFuel, and Purple weren't enough for the "expensive tank of gas delivered to your car" space?

Well the inventor of the things says that he regrets creating them because they can't be recycled, and for some reason I believe he knows what he's talking about.

As for compostable, you have to shred the things and give them lots of air and time for it to happen so, yeah, right.

pretty much. landfills are just anoxic holes that trash is dumped into, once another layer of garbage is on top then things basically dont rot

So was "biodegradable" a meaningless distinction this whole time? I always thought it at least meant the material would return to soil in a few years.

It does, if you send it to a proper composting facility. Not that many places have them but they exist!

Meh, petroleum gas is on the way out, if they really wanted to disrupt they would offer electric car charging, CNG, LNG, LPG, Biodiesel, and Ethanol blends. I'm in the Bay Area and all my friends brag about their alternative fuel vehicles, so surely they will completely replace dirty fossil fuels in a few years.

If my alternative fuel vehicle is a bicycle, will they come shove pie in my mouth when I use the app?

biodegradable is a legit thing but it's not like garbage dumps are an open field with plenty of access to the elements. they're more like giant plastic lined holes in the earth 200 feet deep the garbage gets dumped into. nothing can really degrade once it's buried in fifty feet of garbage, even bacteria can't live down there. if you go to old landfills and you dig deep enough you can dig up perfectly legible and well preserved newspapers from a hundred years ago

yeah, they should outsource the actual delivery too and just ship gas boxes that customers can apply to their cars themselves

I bet they could get bulk shipping rates too

maybe a Netflix-like model where once you’ve put the gas in the vehicle you just slap another label on the empty container and send it back to be refilled and reused
