I compost all my junk mail - about a carry bag a day including a bit of
other waste paper.

Does anyone know if the panes in the envelopes will biodegrade?

I always take them out because they look like plastic to me.


No they don't - I take mine out as well. Interestingly our local
recycling
system will accept envelopes but *not* window envelopes - presumably for
the
same reason. (Satisfying putting junk mail on the compost, isn't it.)

No, I much prefer to send it back in the enclosed envelope, without a stamp!
