Here’s an investment “opportunity” for people who don’t understand that:
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.

Many Americans believe that the water delivered to our homes in five-gallon plastic containers brought to us in diesel-powered trucks is the best way to keep them hydrated.
Every ounce of water in the United States exceeds all potability standards.
Reverse osmosis filters that cost a couple hundred dollars installed under our kitchen sinks purify that water to even higher standards.
Not sure who’s stupid enough to think they need “Primo.”
The Trump presidency will either be the most shameful era in our nation’s history or the last era.
It’s up to us.
