Important point: "Biodegradable" plastic doesn't biodegrade in the same way as something like a banana. It disinitegrates to the point that it is invisible to humans, but it introduces microplastics into the environment.
I think there are cellulose based bags that are basically "plant plastic" that do finally break down, but its over the course of years.
Oh, that's really great though. I didn't know.
