Yes, depends on what's the behavior of just sitting around outside, getting rained on a bit, sitting in a humid warehouse, exposed to bugs and rodents.

If hypothetically it only breaks down if shredded and mixed into compost, then it may be interesting. However in such a case you'd likely struggle to reliably identify and segregate it from the rest of the plastic waste stream to apply this special treatment without putting bad plastic into the mix.
