compostable or biodegradable plastics will no longer be allowed to be sold
This is needed both in the short and long term
If you hate biodegradable and compostable things, you’re the baddie. The math seems solid.
I’m mean, they are better than the non-degradable plastics, but it’s not like they breakdown remotely fast. Those products are more greenwash, [airquotes] biodegradable
it’s not like they [break down] remotely fast
Okay, I’m hitting the (qualified) opinion pieces and I’m seeing the issues like the microplastic intermediate stage and the low ‘success’ rate of plastic breaking down after a 6 month period (which I’m assuming isn’t arbitrary).
You’ve forced me to learn, dammit. Thanks (Thanks; I hate it?)
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.
