Do there exist composting facilities that accept bioplastics and vegetable-tanned leather?

The top manuafacture of leather goods recognizes its obligation to the environment. Tanning and dyeing leather is chemical intesive, produces lots of waste and consumes massive amounts of energy. ECCO uses as few chemicals as possible while maintaining advanced wastewater treatment systems to reduce the amount of sludge going to landfills. A recent process called ""Flesh to Fuel"" converts tallow (animal fat) to bio fuel. Towards the end of 2006, ECCO replaced 24,000 liters of diesel with bio fuel reduceing CO2 emissions by 22 tons a month. Continuing to find more options for potentiually useful organic waste, ECCO is experimenting with bio plastics and composting.

In my community, garden waste is collected in its own bin for composting, but they have yet to expand to include food waste and new bio-degradable products.
