Sure, biodegradable plastic bags are slightly better than TetraPak and polystyrene packaging. Polypropylene if properly recycled would be on par, but recycling almost never happens right. So, pure carton, if it works, is the best. (Apparently waxed cannot be recycled, but still it's compostable and clean to burn.) Cans and glass jars follow.
