Biodegradable Plastics
1) Biodegradable plastic has been the object of scientists’ attention for at least half a century.
2) “Water-soluble” plastic faces a number of challenges. One is based on the fact that plastic bottles normally contain liquids that are mainly water. Sure, we don’t want our plastic bottles to last 1000 years, but precisely how soon should the degrade? If we’re talking about milk, which goes bad in a week or so, the answer might be a month or so. If we’re storing drinking water an emergency, we don’t want the bottles to fall apart for at least a few years.
As we encounter so frequently, this is just another attempt to rip off ignorant people.
