PLA plastic is made from just organic materials. It degrades into lactic acid, and is safely used for medical implants. It doesn't degrade naturally at normal temperatures, but can be effectively recycled, composted, or incinerated.
Right now it mostly gets thrown away into the environment like most trash, but is a sustainable plastic if handled properly.
