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

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?)

I often re-use the biodegradable bags for garbage, and half the time they’re disintegrating before the bag’s even full.
