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?)
