A lot of biodegradable plastics are only biodegradable in industrial composting facilities, so while better than non-biodegradable plastic, it's not a good solution.
Yea, but I think compostable plastic is closer to damaging than helpful, since it's so hard to actually compost very little.of it will ever be.
Yea, if compostable plastics were compostable at home, I would be all in favor of them!
This is kind of why I'm against bio-degradable plastics: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/new-brunswick/dog-poop-bag-on-trails-fredericton-1.6906054
People think they will naturally compost so they just throw them off the trail, and then they don't break down!
