Question: Are current biodegradable sustainable, and would they be at a scale that supplies the whole world?

Love this question! There are some biodegradable plastics out there. But some are still made from fossil fuels. So the end of life is better but we are still using an unsustainable source. It is so important to consider every aspect of a plastic’s life from the chemicals used to make it right through, so I think you’ve touched on a brilliant point that we all need to consider!
