No, you're understanding this wrong. They don't mean it will degrade on the shelf or in transit, only in soil. If true, this is the shit.
Yeah, but soil is basically moisture and bacteria. Same as food, unless it is freeze-dried or so. Still, as alternative to paper straws or one-time cups it could be great.
I agree, it's for the single use plastics, and for food that already has a short life.
Exactly and single use plastics are the largest problem we face. Medical and food handling would be much more difficult and expensive without single use plastics, so a good-enough plastic say for gloves that get changed really often would be a huge win.
