Sounds good in theory, but I haven't specifically checked it out. Does it produce less/no pollution/toxins when creating it? Is it truly biodegradable with 0 contaminants/toxins left over? How much energy is required to produce it vs other plastics or paper/cardboard? How much corn does it take, and is it economically feasible if we shifted, let's say, 50% of current plastics to biodegradable where it would make sense (I imagine there are scenarios where biodegradable plastic couldn't/shouldn't be used)? I'm more of the mindset to just eliminate plastic where it isn't really necessary to begin with, like in packaging, where it's just more convenient for the manufacturer to wrap it in plastic as a theft deterrent.
