Dammit. I too believed those plant based takeaway containers were green bin material :(

"Plant-based and compostable packaging is not accepted in kerbside food waste or greenwaste bins.
"It doesn't seem that sensible to claim that something is compostable in a New Zealand context if it's very unlikely that material will actually be picked up and put into a composting process," Purchas said."
