Developed by researchers from China's Northeast Forestry University, the bamboo plastic can biodegrade in soil within 50 days and offers a pathway towards sustainable plastic alternatives.
Well yea, but they claim the point is that it’s not going to need to end up in landfills because it biodegrades. Meaning at best it’s carbon neutral, but that’s unlikely unless only renewable energy is used it produce it in the first place.
Don’t get me wrong, it sounds miles better for the earth than making more microplastics, but it’s not much more than that, and not some kind of panacea.
