Leather is biodegradable and an accepted material for cars. I don't see why the same shouldn't apply to this.

Leather is biodegradable and an accepted material for cars. I don't see why the same shouldn't apply to this.
- themk 2y agoI'm pretty sure chrome tanned leather is not biodegradable in any practical sense.
- nickserv 2y agoPut it in a healthy compost pile and it will get eaten away. Even bone biodegrades, given enough time.
- Qwertious 2y agoNature doesn't have compost piles, nor does the ocean's giant plastic islands. If a material only biodegrades at 60 C, then it for practical purposes it doesn't biodegrade.
- adrianN 2y agoIf it biodegrades at 60C in a month it’s probably gone after ten years in the ocean, which is a big improvement.
- esskay 2y agoBiodegradable plastics typically have a melting temp on the lower end. PLA for example is 60c. I'm not sure many people would be happy coming back to their car to open the door to a plastic blob on their floor.
