It's for separating materials for recycling, not compost.

Ohh this probably makes more sense in places other than where I live. Nothing here gets recycled at all unfortunately... Were the larger objects unable to be recycled otherwise?

Mixed material objects cannot (generally) be recycled. This is focused on multi-material prints, so you can easily split out your PLA and TPU etc. for recycling. Also good if you're directly recycling into new filament.
