Biodegradable Plastics

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 of which 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 they 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 for 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.
