Or huge amounts of corn starch or alcohol could be processed for the production of plastic. Period.

If you understood chemistry, you'd understand that.

The problem of plastics is not which feedstock is used, but the fact we don't require plastic to include a trigger which makes them biodegradable or specially degradable.

These are widely available technologies and could be included in plastics made today.

But plastics makers and customers have spent a lot of to convince people like yourself that you should focus on which feedstock is used to make plastics - an effort which achieves nothing, which is what they want you to be doing.

You're busy doing your bit for Big Plastic.
