The thing is: People like plastic exactly because it's not biodegradable.

The thing is, there are tons of single use (ugh) plastic still in the world and many other similar highly vulnerable and replacable products that would benefit greatly from being made biodegradable even if they could magically rot on the shelf. Like food already does.

yeah, i think a lot more things should be packed in waxed paper or tinfoil, like back in the day. nowadays it's hard to get even toothpaste in foil tubes like we used to in the 80s/90s.

well read the article: this one is entirely not biodegradable until you put it in the ground. It sounds like the perfect mix they say it will be suitable for cars etc

Just to play person with two eyes... They also said all this same stuff about polylactic acid.
